Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4- inch tart shell prebaked (about 3/4 cup crust mix)
  • 3/4 cup lemon curd thick (store-bought or homemade, chilled)
  • 1/3 cup whipped cream stabilized to soft peaks
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon fine
  • Tiny edible gold dot or single candied lemon slice for top

Method
 

  1. I prebake a 4-inch tart shell at 350°F for 12 minutes until firm. Cool completely.
  2. Spread chilled lemon curd into shell, smooth to level with a spatula. Keep curd thick so it won’t run.
  3. Pipe a small ring of stabilized whipped cream around the edge. Leave center exposed for the baby to smash.
  4. Add a tiny lemon zest sprinkle and one small candied slice or gold dot for a photo cue.
  5. Chill 30 minutes before serving so it holds shape during the smash.
