This week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, Tartest Lemon Tart, almost didn't happen for me. It was chosen by Babette and you can find the recipe on her blog, Babette Feasts. I had a busy week and made lots of other sweets, so I almost counted this one out. Then at the last minute, I decided to just make 1/3 of the filling and make it without the tart shell. I used the pith and everything of 1/2 lemon. I was blending up the filling and realized I didn't have any eggs. So, I actually just used some refrigerated egg whites that I had on hand and prayed it would work out.
I poured the filling into a ramekin and baked it for about 30 minutes, until the middle was just a tad jiggly. My daughter immediately wanted a bite. And another bite.
I don't know if my lemon was just not too tart or what, but this filling was delicious. One person thought it tasted like it had coconut in it, but turns out it was just the pieces of lemon.

I also made the Perfection Poundcake last week and turned it into Petit Fours for our Mothers Day Party. Perfection Poundcake was the 4th recipe chosen last year when Tuesdays with Dorie started. I made it the day before I needed it, just like Dorie suggested and it turned out great. It had really good flavor.
Cutting out shapes for the Petit Fours was a little tricky, but in the end it worked and that was the main thing that mattered.

Great looking tart, lovely petit fours. Everything you do always looks delicious!
Mine bubbled over like a volcano, but it turned out fine after some doctoring :) A little bitter, but I don't think my lemons were of the best quality. DELICIOUS dough!
Mmmmm ...so light, so bright!
What a lovely way to enjoy the tart... without the crust! All the better to be induldge in a bit more filling!!! (any reason is good for more sweets no?) LOL
oh, i love your petit fours! so pretty and, i'm sure, delicious! kudos on baking two dorie recipes!
Glad your little one liked it! I thought it was great too!
No egg yolks probably made the tart lighter too. I love happy little accidents.
It all looks delicious. We loved this one. Of course, I love tart and sour things! I bet it was good even without the crust.
I am so glad you were able to make it! And it was still delicious after the substitutions - a true sign of an amazing cook/baker! It looks gorgeous and the poundcake has my mouth watering!
Your petit fours are beautiful. I wish I had some right now to nibble on!
Looks beautiful! I want that pound cake now, I just love a moist buttery pound cake.
A tart and poundcake. A dreamy post!
Mare, this all looks AMAZING! So glad that you decided to try the tart in the end and that you liked it so much! And those petit fours! I want to make petit fours for my sister's baby shower! I will be coming to you for tips - yours are perfect.
Your little one has good taste! I really enjoyed this tart and am glad to hear the egg substitution worked out well. I accidentally used a whole stick of butter so lowered the amount of cream, and it came out fine, so I think it must be a pretty forgiving recipe.
I'm sure the filling tasted yummy. The petit fours look awesome.
The pound cake is on my list of things to bake, too. What isn't, right?? :o) Nice job making the lemon filling. I can not wait to try this one tonight.
Your poundcake petit fours are so cute with those sprinkles on top and they look super delicious! They look very addicting too.
Your tart looks wonderful! I love the petit fours too.
Is one petit four with tart on the side too much to ask? So pretty! I tried to bake my leftover lemon filling in ramekins but they didn't work out at all. What's the secret?

Glad you got to taste the lemon! Those petit fours look professional. Well done.
The petit fours look soooo cute!
those petit fours look wonderful! You have inspired me to make some
looks kinda like lemon souffle--yum! and those petit fours are so pretty!
Love your lemon tarty desserts! They look lovely and probably much much lower in calories and yet very lemony! And those petit fours are adorable.
Your petit fours are fantastic! I wish I had some here to snack on now :) Great job on the lemon treats too! So glad they worked with your substitutions.
Non-tart looks delicious. It was nice and lemony.
