Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 14.1 oz Box Pillsbury Premade Refrigerated Pie Crust (contains 2 pie crusts)

Filling

  • 1 12.7 oz Jar Bonne Maman Lemon Curd

Topping

  • 3 tbsp Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the tarts.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Unroll one of the premade pie crusts on a clean surface, and using a flower-shaped cookie cutter or a similarly sized cutter, cut out mini rounds for tart shells.
  3. Form Tart Shells: Gently press each cut-out dough piece into the cups of a mini muffin tin to create small tart shells, ensuring the dough fits snugly against the sides.
  4. Add Lemon Curd: Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the Bonne Maman Lemon Curd into each tart shell, filling them evenly but not overflowing.
  5. Bake Tarts: Place the filled tart pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cool Tarts: Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the mini flower lemon tarts with the 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar for a delicate, sweet finish.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the tarts on a serving platter and enjoy these refreshing, easy-to-make desserts with family and friends.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a flower-shaped cutter, use any small round or decorative cutter to shape the tart shells.
  • Make sure not to overfill the tart shells with lemon curd to avoid spills during baking.
  • The refrigerated pie crust should be kept cold until you’re ready to work with it to ensure flakiness.
  • These tarts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For variation, garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves before serving.
