heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk until smooth.

Spread half of the batter into a greased tart pan.

Prepare the custard by whisking together eggs, sugar, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.

Pour the custard over the batter in the tart pan.

Spread the remaining batter over the custard layer.

Sprinkle pine nuts on top of the batter.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
