Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients  

  • 1 package Premade Pie Crust
  • 9 tsp Lemon Curd
  • 2/3 C Powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp water
  • Poppy Seeds

Instructions 

  • Using a biscuit cutter or a round drinking glass, cut rounds from the rolled out pie crust. I was able to get 18 total rounds, using both pie crusts..
  • Drop 1 tsp of lemon curd into the middle of 9 of the rounds. Don't be tempted to fill it more than that.
  • Top all of the filled rounds with an unfilled pie crust round. With a fork, crimp the edges of each tart.
  • Using a fork, gently poke a hole in the center of the tart.
  • Bake on 450F (or the temperature instructed on your pie crust box) for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow tarts to completely cool.
  • Mix together powdered sugar and water until smooth.
  • Drizzle or spread frosting onto each filled tart.
  • Sprinkle poppy seeds on the tops of each tart.

Notes

  • DON'T skip this tip! The frosting sets up very quickly and I do mean quickly, you will be shocked by its quickness. Make sure to sprinkle poppy seeds on each tart as you frost them.
  • You can also use lemon extract instead of water to make the frosting, to give it an extra punch of flavor.
