Okay I know it’s not Tuesday and I now know this was not this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, but I figured I would still post it! I am a huge procrastinator by nature…I have a theory that I work better under pressure although this hypothesis in completely unproven and this post will attest to that fact.
On Monday I was scrambling around attempting to take care of random tasks when I tried to fit in the TwD recipe. I knew it was a lemon tart and I was too lazy to check the site, so I flipped to the index and located the lemon tart recipe. I cut the recipe in half and ended up with (6) 4 inch tartlettes. After I made the lemon cream and realized it needed to be chilled for at least four hours, I gave up on the recipe and figured I would tie up the loose ends i.e., plate, garnish, photograph on Tuesday afternoon and get it posted. On Tuesday morning I started checking out the TwD posts and thought my filling looked a tad bit different…mine was creamy looking and the photos of this week’s recipe looked almost like lemon curd. I headed over to the TwD site and realized that I had made the wrong recipe. Turns out I had whipped together The Most Extraordinary Lemon Cream Tart instead of the Tartest Lemon Tart…my bad (yeah I just said my bad)!
For the recipe I used Meyer Lemons because that is what I had on hand…Honestly I was not a huge fan the tart I made; however, my co-workers raved over this dessert and requested I bring in the rest of tartlettes the following day! You can rest assured that next week’s recipe will be accurate and posted on time…well…maybe!

I think I have you beat on queen of procrastination, in fact I am doing that right now! I made this tart for my dad a while back, he was a big fan, but I thought it took a lot of work.
Your tart looks lovely. That recipe is still one of my favorites–I can just eat the filling with a spoon…which is why I haven’t made it again. =)
I would love a few of those pls!!
Whoops. Well, it sure looks good and your pictures are lovely.
LOL, wanna hear lazy? I don’t bake cookies because it seems like to much work. I’d rather make bars/squares which are kinda like cookies.
Your tart looks good and I have to tell you ….I start grinning everytime I see the sprigs of mint on your desserts. Weird but I love ’em!

It looks great!!!! sorry you didnt like it much.
Oh, gosh, I can easily imagine making the same mistake. I actually liked the tartest one more than the cream one, which was very surprising.
so pretty and dainty!
Right or wrong tart, yours look very tasty and pretty!
You must be hard on yourself because that tart is lovely.o
