Preparation Steps
- Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, vanilla extract, and milk. Combine the mixtures to form a dough, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough to 1/8 inch thick and cut out shapes. Press into mini tart pans and chill again for 15 minutes.
- Prick the bottoms of the tart shells with a fork and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- While cooling, prepare lemon curd by whisking lemon juice, whole eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and salt over simmering water until thickened.
- Remove from heat and whisk in cold unsalted butter until smooth.
- Pour lemon curd into cooled tart shells and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until set, then cool at room temperature before refrigerating.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh berries before serving and chill them for at least an hour.
