Steps:
- For crust:
- Using electric mixer, beat unsalted butter and egg yolks in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in sugar. Beat in flour and salt just until blended, adding water by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Gather dough together. Shape dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour. Soften dough slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
- For filling:
- Whisk eggs, sugar, cream, lemon juice, and grated lemon peel in medium metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water); whisk slowly but constantly until mixture thickens and instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160°F, about 20 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Cool mixture to room temperature, whisking occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer dough to 10-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold in dough edges, forming double-thick sides. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Line crust with foil; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 15 minutes. Remove pie weights. Bake until crust is golden and cooked through, about 30 minutes longer. Cool crust in pan on rack.
- Spread filling evenly in crust. Chill overnight to allow filling to set.

LEMON CURD TARTS
These lemon curd tarts are a staple dessert at my tea parties. I can make them quickly without even measuring the ingredients using a pastry bag to fill the small shells. The crust remains crunchy for several hours, so I make them early the morning of the tea and then refrigerate them. I also serve these at wedding and baby showers. For variation, you can place 1/4 teaspoon raspberry spread underneath the lemon curd and garnish with a fresh raspberry, omitting the cinnamon. Another variation is to use lime curd instead of lemon, both of which can be found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.

CREAMY LEMON TARTS
These are perfect to serve at a get together, this recipe makes a ton of tarts (about 50 mini tarts) but the recipe can be cut in half if desired. The original recipe states to prepare the lemon mixture on top of the stove, but this tends to scorch easily so the second time I made it, it worked out better in the microwave, but you can definitely prepare it on top of the stove in a heavy-bottomed saucepan if desired. Although it is always better to use fresh lemon juice, I use the juice of two lemons and bottled lemon juice to make up the 1 cup, this is very lemony and tart, so you might want to adjust the sugar to suit taste, just add in more while the mixture is cooking.

Steps:
- In the microwave (I use my 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup for this) or on top of the stove (using a heavy-bottomed sauce pan) combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolks, half and half and whipping cream (can use 2 cups half and half cream if desired and omit the whipping cream); whisk to combine.
- Microwave on HIGH until thick (removing about every minute to whisk/stir).
- Cook until thickened.
- Stir in butter; whisk until butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cool to almost room temperature, stirring every so often.
- Stir in sour cream until well blended.
- Divide evenly between baked tart shells.

Tips:
- For a smoother cream filling, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin. Just fill each muffin cup with about 1/4 cup of the crust mixture and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once the tarts are baked, let them cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When filling the tarts, be sure to leave a little bit of room at the top for the whipped cream.
- For a more decadent tart, use a combination of heavy cream and whipped cream for the filling.
- To garnish the tarts, you can use fresh berries, mint leaves, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Conclusion:
These frozen watermelon-lemon cream tarts are the perfect summer treat. They're light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The creamy filling is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy watermelon crust. These tarts are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
