These easy lemon curd and raspberry tartlets are an easy way to use up any leftover lemons you or just because you want a deliciously sweet treat!

Lemon Curd and Raspberry Tartlets

I’m back with my second lemon curd recipe and this one is even easier than the first (especially if you already have lemon curd leftover!).  These lemon curd tartlets are made with a simple shortbread pastry (pie crust) dough. I like to make my own and press it into a cupcake tray to form the tart shell but you can also buy frozen/refrigerated pie crust or even ready to bake mini pie shells.

Then all you have to is spoon in some lemon curd [get my lemon curd recipe here] and place a juicy raspberry on top. It couldn’t be simpler!

Easy baking with lemons

Don’t leave the raspberry out. It cuts through the tartness of the lemon and balances the flavor profile perfectly.

These bite-sized lemon curd & raspberry tarlets are perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch, bridal shower, baby shower or any spring or summer gathering you have planned.  I dare you to try stop at one :-)

Lemon Curd and Raspberry Tartlets

Servings 24 tarts

Ingredients

For The Lemon Curd

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter cold
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest finely grated

For The Tart Shells

  • 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 oz very cold butter
  • 1/2 cup ice water

Instructions

Lemon Curd

  1. Combine yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk to combine.

  2. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, making sure to stir sides and bottom of pan. Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat back of wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.

  3. Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter, one piece at a time, stirring with the wooden spoon until consistency is thick and smooth.

  4. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd to avoid a skin from forming; wrap tightly.

  5. Refrigerate until firm and chilled, at least 1 hour.

Tart Shells

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Add the flour, sugar and salt to a stand mixer with paddle attachment. Beat on low to combine. Add cold butter, beat until butter is the size of small peas with the flour mixture. This can also be done in a food processor.

  3. With the mixer on, slowly add the ice water until dough forms and is combined.

  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured countertop, kneading a couple times to combine. Divide dough in half, flatten slightly and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.

  5. Refrigerate for 1 hour before using.

  6. When ready to use, roll out the dough. Cut individual circles for each tart shell using a glass or pastry cutter. Push each circle into a greased cupcake tray.

  7. Bake empty tarts for 5 - 10 minutes or until a light golden color. Allow to cool.

  8. Fill each tart shell with lemon curd and top with a raspberry.

    These look yummy! What temperature do you bake the tart shells at, and how many does this recipe make?

Instagram post 17873300527510295 Are you a buy-almost-everything-on-Amazon holiday shopper like me? After all, Amazon literally sells everything, right?! #ad And while that's super convenient, what's not convenient is waiting at home all day for packages to be delivered, or coming home to soggy packages that have been sitting on the front steps all day. Or worse, packages that have mysteriously disappeared from the porch. This year, I'm safeguarding my Amazon Prime deliveries by using the new Key by Amazon In-Garage Delivery. I've already trialled the service and loved the process. On delivery date, I received a 4-hour delivery window and right before the driver arrived, I got an "arriving now" alert on my phone. This enabled me to watch the delivery live in the Key by Amazon app using my Cloud Cam that's mounted inside my garage. The driver dropped my packages right inside the garage door, before ensuring the door closed behind him. It was awesome and now I have one less thing to worry about while doing my online Christmas shopping!Ready to try it for yourself?
