Lemon Tarts

April 11, 2010 by Lois Britton 6 Comments

Massive quantities of lemon curd were produced in our kitchen earlier this year when friends were harvesting citrus.   Taking advantage of this, I added lemon tarts to our Easter Tea menu, even though it did mean diminishing the lemon shrine in the freezer.  I took inspiration from my lemon trifle recipe mixing the curd with whipped cream.   The combination of the two creates a mixture that’s almost addictive.

Ingredients

Double pie crust, homemade or packaged (or substitute sugar cookie dough)
1 c. heavy cream
2 T. sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. lemon curd, (plus or minus)
berries, for garnish

Directions 

Roll out pie crust; cut 3 inch circles.   Press the circles into mini-muffin pans, poke the bottoms with a fork,  and bake at 425 until golden brown.  Cool.

Whip cream, gradually adding sugar and vanilla, until stiff.  Fold in lemon curd.  Using a pastry bag, or quart-size food storage bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the lemon cream into the baked shells.  Garnish with berry.  Chill until serving.

    I loved these! The flavor of lemon curd is definitely there, but it’s mellowed a bit by the whipped cream. They’re creamy, delicious, and could become addictive.
