Vanilla Lemon Tart with Gold Glitter Finish

✨ Vanilla & Lemon in Perfect Harmony

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.

🧁 What Makes This Tart Special?

• Multi-textured composition: From the crunch of the shell to the cloud-like whipped ganache.
• Citrus-bright layers: Lemon marmalade and crémeux create a punchy, aromatic center.
• Professional finish: The yellow chocolate spray and edible glitter bring a visual wow.
• Perfect for spring occasions: A beautiful centrepiece for Easter, brunches, or celebrations.

🍋 Pro Tips

• Chill each component thoroughly before assembling to make piping and layering easier.
• Use a fine Saint-Honoré tip for best flame-piping effect on the ganache.
• If kirsch isn’t your thing, replace it with water or lemon juice for a non-alcoholic glitter spray.

🥂 Serve It With

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.

📸 Styling 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 🌼🍰.
