How to Make Cherry Lemon Tarts

  1. Line 8 (5- or 6-ounce) custard cups with cupcake liners.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) of unsalted butter in the microwave.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Press 1 rounded tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each prepared custard cup to form a crust.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Pour 2 tablespoons of the lemon filling into each prepared custard cup.
  7. Arrange the custard cups in a ring in your microwave. Microwave at 50% power for 2-5 minutes, or until the filling bubbles in 1-2 spots. Rotate the cups halfway through cooking.
  8. Remove the tarts from the microwave as they finish cooking. They may continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 for any remaining tarts.
  10. Let the tarts cool completely before topping with your favorite cherry pie filling (about 1/4 cup total) and serving.
