Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch Homemade Microwave Lemon Curd about 2 cups, chilled
  • 24 1.75-inch premade miniature tart shells
  • 2 cups meringue topping (see note below)

Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Place the tart shells on a tray or baking sheet.
  2. Spoon the lemon curd into a piping bag and fill each tart with lemon curd.
  3. Fit a piping bag with a large Star Tip. Spoon the meringue into the piping bag and pipe a small dollop of meringue onto each mini tart.
  4. Store tarts in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftover pies in the refrigerator, covered tightly. They are best enjoyed fresh but can last up to two days.
  • Freezing: While the filling can be frozen, it's best to freeze the tart shells separately to maintain their crisp texture.
  • Pairing: These mini pies pair beautifully with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
  • Variations: Consider adding a layer of fresh fruit on top of the meringue for a fruity twist!
  • Serving Size: These mini pies are perfect for parties. Serve them on a platter for your guests to enjoy!
