Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp ice water

For the Custard:

  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

For the Lemon Curd:

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the lemon curd by whisking eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a saucepan. Cook on low heat until thickened, strain, and chill.
  • Make the crust by mixing flour, sugar, salt, and butter until crumbly. Add vanilla and water to form dough, then chill. Roll out and press into tart pans. Pre-bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
  • For the custard, whisk yogurt, honey, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Assemble tarts by layering sliced strawberries, pouring custard over them, and baking at 325°F for 20-25 minutes.
  • Cool tarts, drizzle with lemon curd, and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Chill the lemon curd and pie dough for best results.
  • Tarts are best served cold or slightly chilled.
