3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup butter, melted
CRUST:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
Additional confectioners' sugar
Fresh raspberries, optional
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the room-temperature eggs, sugar, lemon juice and orange zest. Once combined, stir in the melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. Set the lemon filling aside.
Pulse the flour, confectioners' sugar, almonds, lemon zest, orange zest and cubed butter in a food processor until the mixture forms a ball.
Press the dough into the bottom of a tart pan, and bring it up the sides too. Editor's Tip: The dough pressed into the sides of the pan should be even with the top. It shouldn't fold over like the edges of a pie crust.
Pour the lemon filling into the crust. Bake until the center is almost set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Just before serving, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and raspberries.
