Instructions

  6. Pour the lemon filling into the baked tart shell and dot with pieces of butter.
  7. Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  8. Allow to cool before serving. Your Lemon Curd Tart is now ready to dazzle!

Notes

For a more festive touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top right before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
