Lemon Pie Directions
Place your frozen mini tart shells on a baking pan…
Poke holes in the tarts using a fork. Place them in the oven and bake according to the package directions…
While you are baking the tarts you can make the lemon curd. Place all of your ingredients into a glass bowl. My boys love to squeeze the lemons…
Whisk together the sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest and butter until smooth…
Cook in the microwave on full power for one minute intervals, stirring after each minute. You will know the lemon curd is done cooking when it coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the microwave, push through a fine, mesh sieve and pour into a bowl.
Spoon the lemon curd into your prepared tart cups. Let them cool. Place out the sprinkles on a work surface.
Place the yellow ice cream sprinkles on the sides for the wings. Cut the tips off of 2 ice cream sprinkles and place them on to for hair. Add two candy eyes, a carrot sprinkle for the nose, and orange flower sprinkles for the feet.
Save any remaining lemon curd in a jar for later use. Happy Spring!!
