Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  1. Prepare the pastry dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, lemon zest crumbs and salt. Add the butter and gently knead with your fingers to form a grainy texture. Then add the egg yolks and continue kneading the dough until it is well mixed and can be formed into a ball. If the dough is too dry, add some cold water in moderation. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  1. To make the lemon cream filling: In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest shavings and whisk to combine. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture, stirring with a cutting motion, until the cream is fully incorporated.
  1. Remove the chilled puff pastry dough, place it on a floured work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thin sheet. Then gently place the puff pastry dough into a round baking dish about 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter, trimming the edges neatly.
  1. Spread the lemon cream filling evenly on the bottom of the puff pastry. Place the lemon tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Once baked, remove the tart and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Sprinkle the top with a dusting of powdered sugar and garnish with fresh lemon slices. Now the lemon tart is ready! Slice and indulge in this delicious dessert.

Tip: If you want to enhance the lemon flavor, you can add more lemon juice and lemon zest shavings to the cream filling. You can also adjust the amount of sugar to make it sweeter or more refreshing to your taste.
