Special Touch
The fresh lemon in these tiny tarts just begs for a cup of hot tea. Garnish the tarts with berries or a fresh fruit slice to complete the afternoon tea experience!
Time Saver
No time to make the lemon curd filling? Go ahead and warm purchased lemon curd and spoon into the cooled tart shells. The curd won’t “set” like it would if you made it, but it’ll still taste great!
