Description
These Mini Lemon Curd Tarts are made with Phyllo Dough and create the most delicious bite sized dessert. Tart lemon curd meets buttery flaky crust for the perfect Spring or Easter dessert. Plus, you only need 4 ingredients!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 stick salted butter (4 tablespoons)
- 6 thin sheets of phyllo dough *thawed
- 12 ounce store bought lemon curd (highly recommend Bonne Maman)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Optional: raspberries for topping or whipped cream/cool whip
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and prepare a mini muffin pan (24 hole pan). Melt the butter in a skillet or in the microwave. Line the counter with a piece of parchment paper and roll out the phyllo dough. Carefully take one piece and lie it flat over the parchment paper. Brush surface with butter, cover with another phyllo sheet, brush surface with butter and cover with one more sheet. You should have 3 sheets total, with 2 melted butter layers in between. Repeat another stack of 3 with 2 butter layers, but do not place on top of the first stack. You need two stacks. Use a pizza cutter to slice two cuts lengthwise, and 4 cuts the opposite way to create 12 squares. Repeat with the other phyllo dough stack, which should create a total of 24 squares.
- Push each square into each mini muffin hole, leaving a space in the middle for the lemon curd filling.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes until the tops are golden brown, but not burnt.
- Fill each tart with about 2 teaspoons of lemon curd. Bake again for 5 minutes.
- Allow the tarts to cool for about 5 minutes, then place them into the fridge for 90 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and dust powdered sugar over the tops. Optional: Add a raspberry or whipped topping (right before serving).
Notes
- Make sure the phyllo dough is completely thawed before trying to pull apart the sheets.
- The phyllo squares don't need to be sliced perfectly. Tuck the corners in as needed, just make sure there is a spot for the lemon curd filling to go.
