Lemon Cream Tartlets | Emma's 1St Baking Gig

Each twelvemonth I volunteer to donate the desserts for the annual celebration dinner at The Sheffield Place, a facility that serves homeless mothers together with their children.  (You tin read nearly the yesteryear posts together with desserts here.)  This year, since Emma has taken such an involvement inward baking, I decided to allow her accept the reins on this project.  We selected the carte du jour together (I had to rein inward around of her ambitions a bit... ) but I lay her inward accuse of the baking, decorating together with display.

There were to hold upward xl guests at the dinner, thence nosotros decided to brand 26 Lemon Tartlets together with 26 Strawberry Macaron.  I'll relieve the Macaron recipe for around other postal service - remain tuned for that.

For the tarts, nosotros used store bought pie crust.  Emma would've preferred that nosotros brand "scratch" dough, but I wanted to brand equally picayune mess equally possible inward the kitchen since nosotros were too tackling macaron inward the same day.



All nosotros did was curl it out a flake thinner than it came inward the package, thence cutting it into circles that would agree into my Small Brown Paper Tart Pans.  We genuinely used a large ramekin equally a cutter to cutting out the circles together with it worked great.  Then nosotros pressed them into the pans together with lay them on a Large Baking Sheet, $10.  I should conduct keep lined the canvas amongst Parchment Paper, $10 because nosotros had around drips of the filling on the pan that were a hurting to scrape off.  I should know yesteryear know - ever role parchment!

For the filling nosotros used our favorite Creamy Lemon Pie filling - a recipe from my "Pops."   It is thence slow together with is only Sweetened Condensed Milk, Lemon Juice together with Egg Yolks.  We baked them for nearly 25 minutes until the crusts were browned thence allow them cool.

We topped them amongst a dollop of fresh whipped cream, strawberries, mint together with a pansy.

I couldn't resist taking photos of her desserts on these Enamelware Trays earlier nosotros left - they brand everything expect sweetness together with pretty.
