This recipe is not mine – not even by 5%! This recipe is by my Little Vini, who makes the most scrumptious foods and meals that usually ends in having to unbutton our pants – it’s with good reason that none of us in the house have 6-pack abs!
So the lemon tart has many interpretations and twists – a jelly like filling, a lemon curd, a cheesecake inspired creamy one and then there is this: a light creamy and zesty filling made with paneer. The filling is so good; it could easily be passed off as ricotta. The paneer ensures the airiness and helps you towards a generous second helping.
I also added a layer of dark chocolate to the crust for an added flavour. I had some interesting Lindt dark chocolate with lime flavouring, which went perfectly with the flavour profile. You can use regular dark chocolate instead.
