RASPBERRY LEMON CURD FLOWER TARTLETS



 Raspberry Lemon Curd Flower Tartlets are the most refreshing little bite of  something sweet and delicious!

They would be perfect to serve at a tea, or Easter brunch or a Mother's Day luncheon!


And what makes them even better... they are so easy to make!!!!

These fit into the WOW FACTOR dessert category...








StoneGable Raspberry Lemon Curd Flower Tartlets
makes 16 tartlets
1 Box of refrigerated pie dough
1 jar raspberry jam
1 jar lemon curd
1 pint fresh raspberries
confectioner's sugar

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.


Roll out one pie dough crust on a floured surface.

Using a flower cookie cutter, cut out 8 flowers per pie dough crust.








Using a mini muffin pan, put 1 flower into the well of the pan and shape. Leave the petals hanging over the edge. Do this for all the cut out pie dough flowers. Arrange as shown filling 2 mini muffin pans. 








Bake for 8 minutes or until just done. Don't over bake or the petals will be too dark.

Take the flower tartlet out of the pans and cool on a wire rack.










When the flower tartlets are cool  dip each petal into a bowl of confectioner's sugar.








Add a small amount of raspberry jam to the bottom of each tartlet.









Put a dollop of lemon curd on top of the raspberry jam.










Add a fresh raspberry to the center of the flower tartlet.








Serve on a plate of dried split peas to help them sit upright.







Raspberry Lemon Curd Flower Tartlets are so delicious... and they will go fast!!!!

    Yvonne, these are beautiful and sound yummy. I love the idea of a tiny bite of something, like all us girls do.
    And, guess what, I think I could actually make these. Sending love, my darling inspirational friend...

      Okay. I learned how to do this recently (partly because I like to pin Yvonne's tips-I even emailed her, love this blog:). With any website that has no pinnable images or that does not have any pin icons----
      1. click the plus tab by your photo on your pinterest home page.
      2. click add from a website
      3. copy and paste the url you want to add (make sure the url is for the exact item such as this lemon curd would be (http://www.stonegableblog.com/2014/03/raspberry-lemon-curd-flower-tartlets.html#more) into the box and hit the enter button on your computer keyboard
      4. select the photo you want by clicking
      5. the title will be empty so you have to add one.

      Done. Boom. Hope that helps.....:)

    Yvonne, first of all, these are adorable! I might try these for a spring party I am hosting. Can you tell me how long they keep? Are these do-ahead? Or are they best served immediately after cooking? And if do-ahead, how do you store them?

    Thank you,

    Sheila... Who hopes you are feeling much better! xo

      Hi Sheila, I would do the flower tartlet ahead a coupl of days, but I would fill them just before you eat them so they don't get soggy. I stored mine covered until I served them. Hope this helps!

    Hi Yvonne, the lemon curd tarts look absolutely scrumptuous. I could eat one now with my cup of tea. I'm just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. I have been having trouble with GFC and if I am already following you, and you following me, please forgive me. If not, please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

      Lemon Curd is thick and creamy. It is almost like the lemon filling in a lemon meringue pie. Don't make it... you can buy it in any grocery store. Hope this helps!

    Recently stumbled on your blog and it by far my favorite. You cover a lot of topics and the recipes are wonderful. I also plan on making these tartlets for Easter. I'm also using your Panzanella salad and Herbed Chicken for my Easter Brunch. Your pictures and writing makes my heart sing. God bless you.

    Oh my, Yvonne, I made these for Easter and, of three desserts I had made, these were gobbled up! Everyone loved them. I didn't have a rounded petal cookie cutter, so I used a star, and they looked like daffodils (I left the raspberries off). I also put them on a bed of split peas in a scalloped devilled egg dish (which kept it neat and tidy) for a great presentation. One of my family said "I'm going to have to start reading the magazines you read so I can get all these cute ideas you have". ;) I always enjoy your recipes and ideas - thank you!

    Yvonne, these are so pretty! I am planning to make them for the dessert table at our church Ladies Spring Tea. I am using a daisy theme for the tea, so these will look beautiful and fit in perfectly! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. God bless you always!
