Lemon Curd Tartlets

Lemon Curd Tarlets With Fresh Raspberries

These are mini tarts filled with lemon curd and topped with fresh raspberries.  Do I need to say anything more?  Lemon and raspberry are the perfect partners in just about anything.  And the individual size makes a perfect dessert.  These taste light and refreshing.  A perfect summer dessert.

Lemon Curd Tartlets

Mini Lemon Tart

This recipe for lemon curd is different than most.  It uses a whole egg instead of just the yolk.  I have made it both ways and this turned out absolutely perfect and no wasted egg.  It makes more curd than you need for these tartlets.  The extra can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks or even frozen.  

It can be used on scones, cakes, or even on ice cream.  I’ve been know to just eat it on a spoon too!
