How to make flower tarts

To start, prepare the crust, cut it into flowers with a cookie cutter, and bake until golden. Prepare the white chocolate lemon filling, fill the tarts and enjoy

How to prepare the crust

For the crust mix butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue mixing until well combined and creamy.

Gradually incorporate the flour into the butter mixture, ensuring it is well combined but being careful not to overwork the dough. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, shaping it into a disc, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to chill.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Flour your working surface and roll out the chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap until it’s approximately ⅛ – ¼ inch (3-6 mm) thick.

Using a flower-shaped cookie cutter measuring 3 ½ inches (9 cm) in diameter, cut out 12 flower shapes from the dough, re-rolling any scraps as needed. Carefully press each flower-shaped piece of dough into the cups of a mini muffin tin, leaving space between them and alternating cups to ensure even baking.

Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 15 minutes before baking. Prick the bottom of each tart with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming during baking.

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for approximately 10-13 minutes, or until they are slightly golden at the edges. Once baked, allow the tarts to cool completely in the pan.

How to prepare the chocolate filling

While the tarts are cooling, prepare the white chocolate lemon ganache. Melt the white chocolate with cream and salt using a bain-marie over low heat. Once melted, add lemon zest to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Once the tarts are cooled, fill each flower-shaped tart with the chocolate lemon ganache. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the tarts and garnish with additional lemon zest for added flavor and decoration.
