Prepare
Ingredients
Crust
- 285 g butter, softened
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Wilton Imitation Clear Vanilla Extract
Filling
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 115 g butter, softened
- 6 egg yolks
- 120 ml lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- 1 container fresh raspberries
- Whipped cream, for topping
Tools
- Patisse Mini Quiche Pan – Lose Bottom – 6 cavities 10 cm
- Mixing bowl
- Hand or stand mixer
- Heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Fine mesh strainer
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
- Nonstick spray or butter, for greasing
- Plastic wrap
Step 1: Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the mini tart pans with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2: Make the crusts
In a mixing bowl, beat 170 g butter and 1 cup 200 g sugar on medium speed until just combined. Add the egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until well mixed. Reduce speed to low and add flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mixing until the dough is crumbly and dry.
Step 3: Bake the crusts
Divide the dough evenly among the tart pans. Press the dough into the bottoms and up the sides. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 4: Make the filling – part 1
In a bowl, beat together 200 g sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth (about 1 minute). Add 115 g butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the lemon juice (it may look curdled, but this is normal).
Step 5: Make the filling – part 2
Transfer the mixture to a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and just begins to boil. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and stir in the lemon zest.
Step 6: Assemble
Spoon the lemon filling into the cooled tart shells. Cover each with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with fresh raspberries and a swirl of whipped cream before serving.
Step 7: Enjoy these bright and festive Lemon Raspberry Tartlets!
