A luxurious tart combining silky vanilla ganache, almond–vanilla cream, sweet lemon marmalade, and lemon crémeux—finished with a yellow cocoa butter glaze and kirsch-gold glitter spray.
This Vanilla Lemon Tart is a celebration of elegance and bold citrus. Imagine biting into a crisp sweet tart shell filled with delicate almond–vanilla cream, vibrant lemon marmalade, and velvety lemon crémeux—then topped with piped vanilla ganache and shimmering gold. ✨🍋
Each layer is carefully crafted: a rich ganache infused with vanilla beans, a silky almond base, and a tangy contrast of lemon. What elevates it even more? A thin spray of yellow chocolate glaze and a final mist of kirsch-gold glitter. The result is patisserie-worthy drama that tastes as stunning as it looks.
A chilled glass of Prosecco, a scoop of lemon sorbet, or a warm cup of earl grey tea. The tartness of the lemon balances well with subtle floral or tea notes.
This tart looks best when the piped vanilla ganache flames are staggered and precise, with visible layers of marmalade and crémeux peeking through. Spray in two layers: yellow chocolate glaze first, then gold glitter to finish. Refrigerate just long enough to firm up before slicing.
This tart isn't just a dessert—it's a patisserie showpiece. Golden, bright, and bursting with flavor, it's everything you'd want from a spring or summer celebration cake 🌼🍰.
