Lemon Curd Tarts Recipe

Lemon Curd Tarts

From jo_jo_ba 16 years ago

I adapted this recipe from the Betty Crocker website. These are more tangy than sweet, but they will still brighten up any occasion they're part of!

Heat oven to 375°F.
In medium bowl, mix flours and ground almonds.
Cut in shortening until crumbly.
Press in bottom and up sides of 24 ungreased mini muffin cups.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool tart shells completely in pan.
Sprinkle agar-agar over 1 tbsp cold water in a saucepan.
Mix the remaining water with the cornstarch.
Beat sugar, cornstarch slurry and egg on high speed until thick, stir into gelatin mixture. Cook about 15 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice and margarine.
Pour lemon mixture evenly into tart shells.
Refrigerate about 2 hours before serving, and store in refrigerator.

Hello and thanks for another great recipe ¡¡ I´m very used to agar-agar since I switched to it from traditional animal-based gelatin.
And of course LOVE lemon curd... so these tarts are very appealing to me. Thanks again.

Agar agar is a vegetarian gelatin substitute made from a type of seaweed. I use it occasionally when I have it on hand, I find it in my local health food store. Substitute measure-for-measure with gelatin powder if you like.
