Instructions

  1. In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon peel until blended.
  2. Add butter and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon.
  3. Transfer lemon curd to a small bowl and cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  4. Just before serving, spoon lemon curd into tart shells. Garnish with raspberries, mint leaves, and/or whipped cream, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
