Hi Jess!

I finally got around to making this this weekend, and it was absolutely lovely. Thank you so much for the recipe! I'm really happy to hear that you are well and getting better! Hope you have a complete and speedy recovery!

Hi, Leah. This tart should hold up just fine overnight; no freezing necessary. In fact, I have a feeling that the lemon filling might not do very well in the freezer. If you are concerned about spoilage, you can store the tart in the fridge, though the crust may soften. Since the filling is dairy-free, and the tart is cooked-through, I'm inclined to say that it would be best left overnight, covered in plastic wrap, on the counter. But I am no food safety expert. If you are in doubt, err on the side of refrigeration. Happy baking!

This tart looks beautiful! I would like to make it for Saturday- Shabbat- lunch this week. If I make it on Friday, can I put it in the freezer until I serve it?

Oh, Elishag, you are the sweetest. And a super-good sport for so graciously bearing the brunt of my poetic license!

Nannette, I guess you and Wes will just have to come over soon for dinner. I promise that you can take home the leftover dessert without having to leave a single hostage behind.

Kase, so glad the tart was a success. And hello there, Ms. "Anonymous." I hope you had a lovely birthday. Plate licking, by the way, is perfectly acceptable behavior in my book.

Kasey's tart was wonderful. I would've licked my plate clean, if I'd been alone. I wanted to eat it slowly while I sipped my tea and savor the wonderful crust and creamy lemon filling but couldn't help myself and ate it in several bites!

Here is my "I made this tart last night" comment.

We'll see tonight how it tastes (though I did sneak a little bit of the filling from the corner and hid the hole under powdered sugar).

It is so nice to see that Elisha wouldn't trade her brother for a dozen cupcakes--- I think Wes would have traded me for the rest of that tart!

I missed so many posts this weekend with all of our out town guests- and was thrilled to see yesterdays post this morning- with MY name in it! I certainly feel like a celebrity. But, let me just make it clear, that we love your company more than any of your baked goods. It's true that the tart was a crowd pleaser- many people at the table were wondering if Jessica would sell her delicious pies (Jessica declined. Boy am I glad we're neighbors and get the goods gratis). To emphasize my point I will share a story that comes to mind from my childhood. When I was 5 my little brother, and only sibling, Benjy came along. A baker in my synagogue offered me a dozen cupcakes in exchange for my new baby brother, and I, a cupcake lover (and not quite old enough to understand that he was joking), flat out said no, I wouldn't trade him for all the cupcakes in the world. Jess, I can surely say the same of you- I wouldn't trade your friendship for all the lemon tarts you could possibly bake in a lifetime.
