Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and confectioners' sugar. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Press the mixture into a 9-inch (23cm) tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes.
3
Remove the parchment paper and pie weights or dried beans and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Allow the crust to cool completely.
4
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and whisk in the lemon zest. Allow the curd to cool to room temperature.
6
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled lemon curd until well combined.
7
Spread the lemon curd mixture into the cooled tart crust and top with the sliced strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
