Imagine a dessert that combines the refreshing tanginess of citrus fruits with the creamy sweetness of vanilla. Picture a zesty lemon tart with a rich, buttery crust. A smooth and velvety lemon custard fills the tart shell, topped with thin slices of luscious blood oranges and delicate segments of sweet grapefruits.

The combination of flavors and the artful presentation not only tantalize the taste buds but also provide a feast for the eyes, making this dessert a true masterpiece.

Tips

When making this citrus tart, you can easily substitute the lemon with other tart fruits such as lime or orange if desired. For the crust, you can replace the butter with margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option. To substitute the meringue, you can use whipped aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) which will give a similar texture. These simple ingredient substitutions can cater to different dietary preferences or restrictions while still maintaining the deliciousness of the dessert.
