For the cream

100 ml (1/2 cup) lemon juice

PREPARATION
Place the margarine, the Sweet & Balance Tabletop Sweetener, the egg and the milk in the mixer bowl and beat with the flat beater. Mix the flour with the baking powder and add to the mixture. Beat, until the dough is smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave in the fridge, for about half an hour. Roll out the dough, place in a 28cm tart dish and prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork. Bake the tart in a preheated oven on the convection setting, at 180°C, for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown, and leave it to cool down.

Prepare the Sweet & Balance Vanilla Crème Patissiere Mix, according to the instructions on the sachet, using milk. Spread over the tart. Soak the gelatin in cold water, according to the instructions on the packet. In a pot, place the margarine, the eggs, the Sweet & Balance Tabletop Sweetener and the lemon juice and stir over low heat. When it comes to the boil, continue stirring for half a minute and remove from heat. Add the gelatin, the lemon zest and the vanilla and stir.

Let the cream cool down and pour over the Crème Patissiere. Decorate with 2-3 lemon slices (optional) and refrigerate.

Sweet & Balance Vanilla Crème Patissiere Mix is prepared with milk or alternatively, for those who wish, using one of Fytro plant based drinks (https://fytro.com.gr/fytro-product-catego/rofimata-products/), in the same quantities as milk.
