Recipe information-Coronation Chicken Salad Wraps
30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 packet of ready-made shortcrust pastry
- 1 cup of double cream
- 1/2 cup of caster sugar
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- Fresh berries, to garnish
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F). Roll out the shortcrust pastry and use a pastry cutter to cut out circles that will fit into a muffin tin. Press the pastry circles into the tin and prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking. Pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the tartlet shells are baking, it's time to make the lemon posset filling. In a saucepan, heat the double cream and caster sugar until just simmering. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and juice. Let it cool slightly before pouring into the baked tartlet shells. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Once the lemon posset tartlets are chilled and firm, it's time to serve them up! Top with fresh berries for a pop of colour and extra freshness. These tartlets are best enjoyed on the day they are made, so be sure to invite some friends over to help you devour them.
Conclusion
So there you have it, a simple yet elegant dessert that is bound to impress. The combination of tangy lemon and sweet cream is simply divine, and the crunchy tartlet crust adds the perfect textural contrast. Give these Lemon Posset Tartlets a try for your next special occasion, and watch as they disappear in a flash!
