How to make Kiwi Tart
For the crust
- Step 1
Place the sifted flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the salt, sugar, egg yolks, lemon zest, and butter at room temperature into the well.
- Step 2
Gradually combine the ingredients until a dough forms, being careful not to overwork it. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Roll out the dough and place it in a tart pan approximately 25 cm in diameter, previously greased with butter and lightly dusted with flour.
- Step 4
Prick the base of the dough with a fork and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes, or until cooked and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Step 5
Once cooled, remove the crust from the pan and place it on a serving dish. Fill it with the heavy cream, which has been whipped to soft peaks with the sugar.
For the topping
- Step 1
Peel and slice the kiwis into rounds. Arrange the kiwi slices on top of the whipped cream.
- Step 2
Refrigerate the tart for at least three hours before serving.

Tips & Tricks
Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing it into the dough for a smoother texture.
Do not overwork the dough to keep it tender and flaky.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least three hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
For an extra touch of flavor, serve the tart with a drizzle of raspberry sauce.
