Mini Lemon Meringue Tarts

I'm a bit of a sucker for lemon desserts.  How about you?  I also love making mini desserts, so here are my mini lemon meringue tarts. I recently purchased a kitchen blowtorch and couldn't resist by making something meringue-based so I could use it. These Mini Lemon Meringue Tarts are so delicious.  They have a shortcrust pastry for the casing, a tangy lemon custard filling and fluffy meringue tops. If you have a few lemons lying around make these and you will be loved by your family and friends.

Lemon Tart

When life gives you lemons, you make a Lemon Tart of course.  At least that's what I love to bake with lemons. This is definitely a favourite amongst family and friends. This Lemon Tart is so delicious, with a fine buttery crust and tangy lemon filling. It is finished with drizzled melted chocolate and topped with raspberries and a touch of edible gold leaf.  The edible gold leaf used to decorate the raspberries are from @dollarsweets.  The touch of edible gold leaf gives the tart a beautiful finish.  However, you can enjoy this lemon tart on it's own with a dusting of icing sugar without the chocolate and raspberries. This recipe is worth the time to make.  Hope you give it a go soon.

Lemon Meringue Tart

Image
Lemon meringue tarts are one of the most favourite desserts in my family.  Before I can even make the meringue to go on top, everyone is asking if they can eat it.  But the wait is so worth it. This lemon meringue tart is so delicious. It has a shortcrust pastry as the casing for the tart, a tangy lemon custard for the filling and a fluffy meringue top. If you love lemons I recommend you make this tart.  There are a few steps involved in making it but the end result and taste is worth the trouble. You can make this lemon tart without adding the meringue top if you don't like meringue or just can't wait to eat it. Because Spring is in the air, I used some cherry blossoms from my garden to decorate the lemon meringue tart.
