Description

This Italian lemon tart, also known as Torta della Nonna, is a true classic! The shortcrust pastry base harmonizes wonderfully with the creamy lemon filling. I especially like to make it in the spring when the lemons are at their juiciest. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth every effort. The tart tastes best when it is completely cooled and dusted with powdered sugar. A piece of Italy for every occasion!
