To make this Gingersnap Crusted Lemon Curd Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 cups of gingersnap cookies, crushed

- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
For the lemon curd:
- 1 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cubed
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed gingersnap cookies, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to press the crust up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the lemon curd. In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and eggs. Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the cubed butter. Whisk the mixture constantly until the butter has melted and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Pour the lemon curd into the cooled crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake the tart for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the curd has set. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before serving.
