Servings: 8

Ingredients:

For the sweet short pastry shell:

• 4 cups (500 g) pastry flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 ⅔ cups (375 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons (10 mL) sugar
• 7 tablespoons (105 mL) whole milk, room temperature

For the cheesecake-style filling:

• 12 oz (340 g) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 4 teaspoons (20 mL) fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup (50 g) powdered sugar
• ½ cup (≈120 mL) heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 drop gel food colouring of your choice
• Optional: small Easter chocolate eggs or edible flowers to garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl or food processor, combine the softened butter, salt, egg yolk, sugar, and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gradually sift in the flour, mixing just until the dough starts to come together into a ball. If using a food processor, pulse only until the dough forms.

2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and uniform. Flatten into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and generously butter eight 4-inch tart pans. Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface, ideally between two sheets of parchment, to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut circles slightly larger than the tart pans and gently press the dough into each pan, trimming away any excess.

4. Line each tart shell with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or rice. Prick the dough all over with a fork, place the pans on a baking sheet, and bake for about 30 minutes, until the crusts are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the shells to cool completely on a wire rack.

5. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

6. Divide the cheesecake filling between two or more bowls and add a small amount of gel food coloring to each, mixing until evenly tinted in soft pastel shades.

7. Once the tart shells are completely cooled, spoon or pipe the colored cheesecake filling into each shell, filling almost to the top. Refrigerate the tarts for at least 2 hours to firm up and allow the flavors to come together.

8. Just before serving, top each tart with mini chocolate eggs or edible flowers for a cheerful Easter finish.

13. Lemon Cupcakes Filled with Lemon Curd
