A luscious and beautiful lemon tart that is SUPER-easy to make and covered in a tangy mixed berry citrus sauce!—The perfect springtime dessert.
Not gonna lie, I’m feeling pretty classy today, guys. Me and my fancy-schmancy lemon tart.
How To Have a Classy Friday in Three Simple Steps. —>
- Make lemon tart.
- Eat all of the lemon tart slices with rivers of berry sauce and with your pinky classily raised in the air until only crumbs remain.
- Then eat the crumbs.
Bam, Friday. ???
Unrelated sidenote, but kinda ties in with the whole “classy” thing. So when I recently went to visit my sister for a week, I’m sorry to say that I picked up an extremely annoying speech pattern from her. We both apparently decided that we want to have classy French accents and therefore, we add the word “le” to every.single.thing we say.
Seriously, I think I’m driving my family bonkers with this.
Example 1. Me: “Le Rachel! Can you run upstairs and grab me a box of le pasta?”
Rachel: “What’s le pasta?”
Example 2. Me: “Le, peeps! Le dinner is ready!”
Peeps: “What kind of food is le?”
I’m le obnoxious and le annoying, guys. I’ll be the first one to admit it.
Pop quiz: What else am I clearly obnoxious with? Lemon. I mean, yesterday was a cake and now today it’s a lemon tart.
All the spring feels know zero bounds, y’all. ???
Here’s how it goes down by order of layer. —>
- Flaky pie pastry tart crust.
- Luscious, sweet ‘n’ tangy lemon filling.
- Citrus-loaded warm berry sauce generously poured into every tart crevice.
Lemon tart shebang, meet belly. Belly, meet your new Friday BFF.
Soooo…who’s ready to join the classy Friday club with me? Perks and benefits include the best dang lemon tart in the whole dang world.

Why not bake Strawberry rhubarb pie in May? You call this a perfect springtime dessert yet use frozen fruits which would naturally not be ripe until July/August. Don’t mean to blame you, just trying to raise awareness – there’s loads of sweet seasonal stuff to use <3
