Recipe's preparation

    Tart shells

  2. Place sugar, butter, flour and salt into mixing bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 6 until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  3. Add water and knead 10-20 sec/Closed lid/Dough mode to form dough. Adding more water through hole in lid if necessary to bind.

  4. Turn pastry out onto a floured surface and lightly knead to bring together. Form dough into a ball shape, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for approx.15 minutes.

  5. Roll out pastry and line prepared tart tin/s, pricking each base multiple times with a fork.

  6. Bake at 200C for 18 minutes or until golden brown in colour.

    7. Lemon curd

  7. Place sugar and lemon zest into mixing bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 8.

  8. Add lemon juice, butter, eggs and egg yolk and beat 21 min/90C/speed 3.

  9. Strain mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. Thoroughly clean and dry mixing bowl.

    10. Raspberry curd

  11. Add lime or orange juice, butter, eggs and egg yolk into mixing bowl and beat  21 min/90C/speed 3.

  12. Strain mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set.

    13. Assembly

  13. Take tart shell/s and spoon in lemon curd, leaving space in the centre for 1 tablespoon of raspberry curd. Place 1 tablespoon of raspberry curd into the centre of lemon curd and, using a sharp knife or skewer, create designs by drawing the raspberry curd carefully around the lemon curd in circular motions. Place tart/s back into refrigerator to re-set if required before serving.

    The lemon curd was fantastic bUt the raspberry one remained too runny. The pastry shell was pretty average too.

  • Very nice! Our raspberry curd

    Very nice! Our raspberry curd wasn't as vibrant as the photo suggest, but was beautifully tasty. We made mini-tarts, and the intensity of the curds suited them well (wouldn't want a family-sized tart!)

    I have only tried the raspberry curd and it's brilliant, perfect texture. And so EASY, if you've ever stood stirring curd on a stove top! I'm using it to sandwich meringue layers together - yum!
