Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Tart Shells:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 12 tablespoons cold water
  • For the Lemon Filling:
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • Optional: a drop of violet or blueberry swirl for color
  • Toppings:
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Make the tart shells: In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, and butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and water and pulse until dough forms. Press into mini tart pans and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake tart shells for 15–18 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.

  4. Fill cooled tart shells with lemon curd. Swirl with a drop of violet or blueberry puree if desired.
  5. Top with fresh blueberries, mint leaves, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
  6. Chill tartlets in the refrigerator before serving.
