Rainbow Citrus Tart Food

EASY CITRUS TART

Steps:

• Make the curd: Whisk the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk the whole eggs and yolks in a small bowl, then whisk into the lemon mixture. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it's thick like pudding, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until incorporated. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days.
• Make the tart: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Break the graham crackers into pieces, then pulse in a food processor with the sugar until finely ground; drizzle in the melted butter and pulse to combine.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and about 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Pour the curd into the prepared crust and gently press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. Remove the springform ring and transfer the tart to a platter. Top with whipped cream.

RAINBOW FRUIT TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust work surface and puff-pastry sheet with flour; roll out to slightly thinner than 1/4 inch. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar, pressing and rolling sugar so as much sticks as possible. Trim pastry sheet to a 12-by-8 1/2-inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. With a paring knife, lightly score a border 1 inch from edges. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool. Gently press center to flatten.
• Meanwhile, place each color of fruit in its own bowl (or do in batches). Divide remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and lemon juice evenly among bowls and add a pinch of salt to each. Toss to combine. Whisk cream with confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Fill pastry with cream and top with fruit. To create rainbow effect, arrange fruit in vertical stripes, starting with red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Garnish with mint, if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours.
