The Best Mini Lemon Tarts Recipe
These mini lemon tarts are the absolute cutest and easiest ever! You can make these easy lemon tarts with just a mini muffin tin, and 5 simple ingredients. Springtime desserts have never been easier! Simply roll out a store-bought pie dough, cut out the shapes, place them in the mini muffin tin and bake. Then fill with the luscious homemade lemon curd! I made them extra special as mini lemon flower tarts, but you can make them simple with a round cookie cutter instead!
Ingredients Needed
Sugar: Granulated sugar works great to sweeten up the lemon curd! Eggs: Eggs are what thickens the curd and gives it that silky smooth texture. Lemons: You will need both the lemon juice and the zest for the best lemon flavor! Butter: Butter will round out the flavors of the sauce! Pie Crust: You can use a homemade pie crust recipe, or use a store bought crust instead!

Tips for Success
Don’t over microwave the lemon curd! The key to silky smooth lemon curd is slowly warming it up until it thickens. Make sure you are cooking for one minute in the microwave and then thoroughly stirring before adding it to the microwave again. Switch up the filling! You can use orange or even grapefruit in these mini tarts instead of lemon, if you prefer! Orange will be sweeter, and grapefruit will be a little bit more sour. Tightly press down the pie dough into the mini muffin tin cavities! That way, you will have deep pockets in which to put all the luscious lemon curd. If you don’t have a flower cut out to make mini lemon flower tarts, you can use a round biscuit cut out instead.
