My husband and I had our friend Chris (we call him Crystal Meth because his personality is so sparkly) over for dinner the other night. Because I am so naughty with the upkeep of my blog posts, I cannot for the life of me remember what I cooked for the main course. When I do I'll post it. For now though, no matter. What I do remember is that I made a cheat dessert in the form of ready-made tartlets and lemon curd. They're really quick to prepare and they look cute too. Happy eating!
What you need (makes about 6 tartlets)...
- 6 ready-made tartlets (you can pick them up at most supermarkets)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup of lemon curd (again, you can find bottles of lemon curd at most supermarkets)
- 2 handfuls of mulberries
- 1 cup of cream
- 1½ tsp of white sugar
- Heat the oven to 180°
- Warm the butter in a saucepan until melted
- Paint the inside and outside of the tartlets with the butter and pop them into the pre-heated oven for about ten minutes or until golden
- Pour the lemon curd, cream and sugar into a bowl and mix well until the sugar has dissolved
- Take the tartlets out of the oven and let them cool
- Pour the lemon curd into the cooled tartlets leaving about half a centimetre from the rim of each
- Place three mulberries on the top of the lemon curd mixture
- Store the filled tartlets in the fridge to keep the berries fresh but remove them about 20 minutes before serving to get them to room temperature
