How to Make Lemon Curd Tartlets

  1. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon until well combined.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove any lumps or zest bits. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the lemon curd until completely chilled (at least 2 hours).
  5. Fill store-bought or homemade mini tart shells with the chilled lemon curd.
  6. Garnish with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, and/or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
  7. Refrigerate any leftover tartlets.
