Mini Lemon Meringue Tarts Recipe

These Mini Lemon Meringue Tarts deliver a perfect bite of sunshine, with a buttery shortcrust, a tangy-sweet lemon curd, and a cloud-like toasted meringue topping. After extensive testing, I’ve refined this recipe to ensure the meringue holds its shape beautifully and the curd sets just right. This method is a fantastic way to enjoy a classic dessert in a perfectly portioned, elegant form.
