This is my freezer-friendly interpretation of what I believe to be the greatest lemon tart in the world — Heston Blumenthal’s. While Heston’s silky custard-based tart doesn’t survive the freezer, mine takes a different path: a curd-based filling enriched with cream and set with gelatin, nestled in crisp sable pastry. It may not be exactly the same, but it delivers that same bright, zesty pop of lemon in every mouthful — and it’ll freeze beautifully. Just defrost overnight in the fridge, slice, and enjoy.
