Preparation

method
Prepare a pie plate with oil or some butter or little pan tarts, preheat the oven about 190°.
Mix all the ingredients and join well. Form a ball. Set aside by 15 minutes.

Filling
Low fat Curd
This curd has a silky smooth texture and great lemon flavor. In fact, it is much brighter than many lemon curds . The recipe is easy to make as long as you have one or two fresh lemons around.
In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, combine sugar and lemon juice. Add zest and stir until sugar is dissolved completely.In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Whisking constantly (or with an electric mixer on low), very slowly stream the hot lemon-sugar syrup into the egg. Beat for 2 minutes (only 1 if you’re using a mixer), then transfer back into the saucepan by pouring the mixture through a sieve.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the curd just comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Transfer to a small airtight container and store in the fridge
