1 prepackaged shortbread crust
2 Tbsp raspberry jam

1/2 C of sugar
1/2 C of butter, melted
1 lemon, grated rind only
2 drops of almond extract

Set the oven to 400 degrees and allow it to preheat.
Lay the crust into a pie plat and prick the bottom only with a fork.

Whisk together the eggs, yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
Stir in the butter, lemon and extract until well blended.
Pour the mixture over the top of the jam.
Bake the tart for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

This is a great budget dessert because it uses ingredients most of us already have on hand. You can make it even more budget friendly by using your own homemade shortbread crust. Use whatever type of jam you have on hand in place of the raspberry.

If raspberries don’t top your list of favorite fruits you can substitute any type of gelatin you like. Pineapple gelatin, peach gelatin or orange gelatin work great with this recipe. Chopped fruit pieces may also be added. Fold the chopped fruit into the ice cream just before you place in the freezer to ripen.
