Ingredients
For the Crust
1 ½
cups
all-purpose flour
1 ½
teaspoons
super fine sugar
13
Tablespoons
unsalted butter
5 1/2oz, cut into cubes
⅛
Tablespoon
salt
3 - 4
Tablespoons
ice cold water
For the Filling
1 ⅓
cups
cream cheese
or ricotta (I used non-dairy)
6
Tablespoons
orange blossom honey
3
large
eggs
beaten
½
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1
medium
lemon
juice and grated rind
Instructions
For the Crust:
Add the flour, salt, sugar, and butter to the bowl of a food processor.*
Pulse in short bursts until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle with water until mixture forms a smooth dough.
Wrap in waxed paper and chill for 30 minutes before use.
For the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and honey until smooth.
Add the eggs, cinnamon, lemon rind, and lemon juice, and mix until combined.
On a floured surface (or between 2 sheets of waxed paper) roll out the dough to fit a 9" tart pan. Alternately, use 6- mini tart pans.
Place on a baking sheet and line with wax paper. Fill cavity with pie weights, or beans, and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the waxed paper and weights, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the base is firm but not brown.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Pour the filling into the tart pan(s) and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until set.
Serve cold. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
Notes
*Alternate Method - The pastry can be made in a bowl by rubbing together with your hands, or using a pastry cutter.
