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!

What is agar-agar? Never heard about it.


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.


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.
