Ingredients:
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- ¼ cup of softened butter
-
⅛ tsp of salt
- ½ tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp of lemon peel (finely shredded)
- 1 cup of thick plain fat free yogurt

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Put the butter in a bowl. Beat it with an electric mixer for 30 seconds (on medium speed).
- Add the granulated sugar, lemon rind, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Beat with the mixer until fully combined.
- Add the egg and flour and continue beating the mixture. Knead the mixture gently until the dough is soft.
- Press the dough into a tart pan. Use a pan with a removable bottom so you can easily remove your crust when baked.
- Line the crust with a thick foil. Bake it for about 6 minutes then
remove the foil. Bake for 6 -8 more minutes or until the crust turns brown.
- Remove crust and cool on a wire rack.
For the Lemon Cream:

- Spread the mixture on the base of the cooled crust. Add the berries on top.
- Garnish your tart with fresh mint and whipped topping (optional).
