Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Filling:

  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 2 Earl Grey tea bags

  • 1/2 tsp dried culinary lavender

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 4 large egg yolks

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Edible flowers & lemon zest, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Make Crust:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until fully combined.
    Press mixture into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

  2. Infuse Cream:
    In a small saucepan, heat cream and milk over medium heat until steaming.
    Add Earl Grey tea bags and lavender. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Strain and discard solids.

  3. Prepare Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and the steeped cream mixture until smooth.

  4. Bake Tart:
    Pour filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 18–20 minutes until center is set but still slightly jiggly. Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 3 hours until fully set.

  5. Whip & Garnish:
    Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Pipe or dollop whipped cream onto the tart.
    Garnish with edible flowers and lemon zest before serving.

Notes

  • For a crisper crust, brush with egg white before filling and rebake for 5 minutes.

  • Use culinary-grade lavender to avoid bitterness.

  • Tart can be made a day ahead and garnished just before serving.
