Lemon Curd & Blueberry Mini Tart

A while ago we made our first portion of lemon curd which we then used for many different things. Most of the lemon curd we used as spread on bread. However, we also used some of it in cakes and pies. This recipes of mini pies is one of the places we used our homemade lemon curd. The recipe we used to make homemade lemon curd is very easy and it only requires 5 minutes of work and then 10 minutes in the microwave.

This recipe for small mini pies, or tarts, has a delicious filling made from whipped cream and lemon curd. This great combination gives the pies a wonderful balance between the fresh whipped cream and the sour lemon curd. The top of the pies are decorated with small and fresh blueberries. All combined, these pies are beautiful and has a very delicious taste.

The pie crust is relatively easy to make and are only made from simple ingredients. We normally make these pies as small tarts. However, it is totally up to you whether you want one large pie or several smaller.
