Time 35m

Yield 15 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel (colored part only, no white part)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 (2 ounce) package frozen miniature phyllo tart shells, thawed
fresh raspberry
mint leaf
sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon peel until blended.
  • Add butter and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon.
  • Transfer lemon curd to a small bowl and cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Just before serving, spoon lemon curd into tart shells. Garnish with raspberries, mint leaves, and/or whipped cream, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality butter and eggs.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Do not overcook the lemon curd. It should be thick and spreadable, but not rubbery.
  • Chill the lemon curd and tart shells before assembling the tartlets. This will help them set up properly.
  • If you are using a food processor to make the lemon curd, be sure to pulse it only until the mixture is smooth. Over-processing will make the lemon curd too thick.
  • You can use any type of tart shell for this recipe. Graham cracker crumbs, shortbread cookies, or puff pastry all work well.

Conclusion:

Lemon curd tartlets are a delicious and refreshing dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious treat that will impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these lemon curd tartlets a try!
