The process of creating these tarts is a delightful culinary journey. It begins with crafting the tart shells, where the flour, pecans, sugar, butter, and egg come together to form a crumbly texture. Baking them to a light golden brown sets the stage for the lemon curd filling. The curd is a masterpiece in itself, with gelatin, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and peel creating a creamy, tangy delight. The use of a hand mixer ensures a smooth and airy consistency.
The final assembly is where the magic happens. The lemon curd is poured into the cooled tart shells, creating a beautiful contrast of colors and textures. A short refrigeration period sets the curd, resulting in a delightful treat that's both refreshing and indulgent. These Lemon Curd Tarts are a testament to the joy of baking, offering a delightful experience from the first bite to the last.
