I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Grease and line a round 25cm fluted tart tray with baking paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 180C (fan forced).
2. For the almond pastry, place almonds in mixing bowl and mill 15 sec/speed 9, or until fine. Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula. Add flour, sugar and butter and chop 5 sec/speed 6.
3. Add egg yolk and cold water and mix 3 sec/speed 10. Bring pastry dough together on lightly floured surface or Thermomat. Form into a disc shape and wrap in Thermomat or cling wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
4. To make the lemon custard, place lemon zest, sugar and cornflour in mixing bowl and mill 15 sec/speed 9. Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula. Add eggs and milk and heat 10 mins/90C/speed 4 or until thickened. Place in a bowl, cover surface of custard with cling wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Roll pastry dough between two sheets baking paper to 5mm thickness. Line the prepared tart tin with the pastry. Line the pastry shell with baking paper and baking beans and blind bake 15 minutes. Remove baking paper and beans and continue baking for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove tart shell from oven and cool.
6. To make the basil sugar, place basil and sugar in mixing bowl and mill 5 sec/speed 7 until fine.
7. Stir thickened cream into lemon custard and use to fill cooled tart shell. Arrange sliced strawberries over the custard and sprinkle with basil sugar. Garnish with young basil leaves and serve with thickened cream.

TM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Do you need to whip the cream???
Awesome! It looks great. Bet there was none left.
A Beautiful Dessert
Made this for Mother's Day and it went down an absolute treat (although, admittedly I didn't make the almond pastry as I didn't have time for that). The custard filling was creamy with a slight hint of lemon flavour and was complimented by the taste of the fresh strawberries. The basil sugar added just a little something special to finish the tart off. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Rosemary Chan,
90 degrees for 10 minutes would be the recomended settings for this.

Thank you!
Hi chrisq-1961
You do not need to whip the cream first.

I have a tm31, in step 4 - cooking the custard I don't have 95 degrees so what temp do I use, is it 90 or 100 degrees
thanks
When it says to stir thickened cream into lemon custard, do you whip the cream first, or is it poured straight from bottle?
Thanks
