Lemon tart à la Välimäki

I was going to make lemon pudding but ended up making a lemon tart for the first time. It just so happens that the day before I was browsing Finnish chef Hans Välimäki's book Välimäki and came across this super rich but delicious looking recipe (amerikkalainen sitruunapiiras). And it really is rich: 5 eggs, 2dl of cream and lots of sugar. But who cares! Treats are treats. And this certainly was one. I love lemon desserts. They are sweet, yet tangy, fresh, and a little bitter, hence the perfect way to cut off and end a meal. I'll definitely be making this again!
