How to Make Neenish Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Knead the dough lightly on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
  7. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles.
  8. Press the dough circles into mini muffin tins or patty tins. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the tart shells cool completely in the tins before removing.
  11. While the shells are cooling, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth.
  12. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  13. Stir in the condensed milk and lemon juice until well combined.
  14. Once the tart shells are completely cool, fill each with the lemon filling.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  16. Once set, ice half of the tarts with white icing and the other half with chocolate icing.
