Remove the balls (carefull they are super hot !!) and put your pastry back into the oven for anoter few minutes until you get a nice golden color.

Once your pastry has cooled down, pour the lemon curd into the shell.

Notes

If your lemon curd isn't stiff enough after cool down, you can put it 5 minutes into your oven at 220°C. And you'll know that for your next pie you'll need an extra 1/2 gelatine sheet ...

    Bonjour Emmanuelle, est-il possible de réaliser cette recette en de plus petites quantités ? Nous ne sommes que 2 adultes et notre fille a la maison… Si oui, en quelle proportion ?
    Et aussi, pour la pâte sablée, comment faire sans les petites billes ?
    Belle journée ?

      Bonjour Charlotte
      Oui c’est possible de faire 2/3 en ne prenant que 2 œufs et pas 2 œufs et un jaune. Il faut donc adapter toutes les quantités … Et pour la cuisson de la pâte, mettez un moule à tarte plus petit dessus avec un papier cuisson entre la pâte et le moule, oui des pois chiches …

      Bonjour Anne-Christine, vous passez la tarte au four à 240 degrés en surveillant. Au bout de peu de temps ça va se colorer, sortez alors immédiatement la tarte du four 😉
