The tangy lemon curd and fluffy meringue in these mini lemon meringue tarts taste great together. They have a buttery crust. It's perfect for fancy events or as a sweet treat at any time.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 cup ice water. 3 large eggs. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice. 1 tablespoon lemon zest. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup granulated sugar.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Put flour, sugar, salt, and cubed chilled butter into a food processor. Use pulses to break up the mixture into large crumbs. Pulse the food processor as you add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Split the dough into 24 equal pieces. Each piece should be pressed into the bottom and up the sides of mini tart pans. Put the tart pans on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are a light golden color. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down. Add the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cubed butter, and salt to a heat-safe bowl. Set the bowl aside. Put the bowl over a pot of simmering water to make a double boiler. Cook the mixture, stirring it all the time, for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it gets thicker. Once the tart shells are cool, pour the lemon curd inside them. Beat egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. As you beat, slowly add the sugar until stiff peaks form. Cover the lemon curd-filled tarts completely with meringue. You can pipe or spoon it on. Lightly brown the meringue with a kitchen torch. Put tarts in the fridge for at least an hour before you serve them.
