The lemon tart is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. The earliest known recipes for lemon tarts date back to the 16th century, and the tart has been a popular dessert in Europe ever since. Lemon tarts are typically made with a sweet pastry crust and a lemon curd filling, but there are many variations on the recipe. This recipe for Luscious Lemon Tartlets is a modern take on the classic dessert. The almond flour crust is a healthier alternative to a traditional pastry crust, and the lemon curd filling is made with silken tofu, which gives it a velvety smooth texture.
