Raspberry Lemon Cream Tarts

As you can tell I am into lemon right now!  I love lemon bars, lemon pie, lemon muffins, lemon chicken, lemon pancakes and anything else you can make with lemons.  I came across this recipe and with all my raspberries right now, I had to try it.  I was not disappointed and neither were the people I dropped these off to.  Great for picnics, potluck or even a late night mommy treat, why not we deserve it!  Enjoy.

P.S. I used my Easy Cream Cheese Pie Crust recipe I posted a few weeks back for the crust.  Another change was I used my mini muffin pans to make min tarts, but Lauren used full size so use whatever makes you happy!

yield: 12 tarts


Ingredients:
2 whole 9-inch Pie Crust, Uncooked
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 Oz)
3 whole Egg Yolks
2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
½ cups Fresh Lemon Juice
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a glass or round cookie cutter, cut chilled pie crust into 2-3 inch circles and place into muffin tins to form tart shells. Refrigerate.

In small bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon zest and lemon juice together until evenly combined. Spoon evenly between tart shells and bake 10-15 minutes (8-10 minutes for mini tarts)or until filling is set and crust is cooked.

Cool tarts to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 2 hours.)

Before serving, whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Pipe a skinny boarder around the edges of every tart. Fill with fresh raspberries. Pipe more cream over top berries to cover. Garnish with more fresh raspberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
