Lemon Tart
A lightened take on the classic French lemon tart, with a thin buttery shortcrust shell holding a bright, tangy lemon curd filling made lower in sugar and enriched with a touch of Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. Finished with fresh raspberries for a fibre boost and a pop of colour, this version keeps the sharp citrus character of the original while trimming calories and added fat.

Instructions
1
Rub cold butter into sieved flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, then bind with the egg yolk and iced water into a smooth dough; wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2
Roll the dough thin on a floured surface and line 2 x 8cm individual tart tins, pressing into the edges and trimming excess; prick the bases with a fork.
3
Chill the lined tins for 15 minutes, then blind bake at 190°C for 10 minutes until pale gold and set.
4
Whisk the beaten egg, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and the cornstarch-lemon slurry together in a bowl until smooth, then whisk in the greek yogurt.
5
Pour the lemon filling into the warm tart shells and bake at 150°C for 12-15 minutes until just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
6
Cool the tartlets completely on a wire rack, then chill for at least 1 hour before topping with fresh halved raspberries to serve.
