Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham crackers, crushed
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 oz/396g) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (120ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15g) lemon zest
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (15g) powdered sugar
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Crush 1 ½ cups (150g) of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with 6 tablespoons (85g) of melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into mini tart pans or cupcake liners, forming a crust. Chill for 15 minutes to set.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 can (14 oz/396g) of sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup (120ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon (15g) of lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the lemon filling into the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Whip 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons (15g) of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Pipe or spoon whipped cream onto the tartlets. Garnish with fresh berries, lemon zest, or even a sprig of mint.
Notes
For best results, use fresh lemons for the filling and allow the tartlets to chill overnight for optimal flavor and texture. Press the crust mixture firmly to avoid crumbling.
