  This is a really easy and yummy pudding. Made it twice over Christmas with lots of great feedback from my guests. Second time I topped it with some chocolate swirls. Gorgeous!

  I made my own pastry - a sweet pie pastry with a little grated lemon rind added. I found the body of the tart too creamy and too bitter. Also the picture is misleading. It's not as deep. However, it went down well! I froze it and it worked well.

  I made this for Easter Sunday dessert, it was delicious. I rolled the pastry a little too thin which will change next time. I topped it with raspberries and served with ice cream. It got a big thumbs up!

  This tart was lovely and very easy to make. I mad it for Christmas day with a caramel, chocolate tart. The only problem I had was that when baking the pastry, it kept falling down the sides of the tin and I kept having to add more pastry to fill the gaps but it turned out well and didn't look like a patchwork tart as I thought it might. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but it turned out OK in the end. Lovely fresh and zingy, I used juice and zest of 2 lemons. I will make this again.
