Silky Citrus Lemon Tart with Spiced Biscoff Base and Floral Garnish


Recipe

Ingredients:

250g Biscoff cookies, crushed

100g unsalted butter, melted

1 cup heavy cream

200g cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon gelatin powder (optional, for extra firmness)

2 tablespoons warm water (if using gelatin)

Fresh raspberries (for garnish)

Thin lemon slices (for garnish)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Edible chamomile flowers (optional)

2 tablespoons crushed pistachios

Directions:

In a bowl, mix crushed Biscoff cookies with melted butter until well combined.

Press the mixture firmly into a tart pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the lemon mixture.

(Optional) Dissolve gelatin in warm water and mix into the filling for a firmer texture.

Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Before serving, decorate with fresh raspberries, lemon slices, basil leaves, chamomile flowers, and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios.

Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing, elegant dessert.
