Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and chilled unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Gently press the dough into tart pans, trimming any excess.
- Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, eggs, and vanilla yogurt until smooth and even. Ensure no lumps remain for a creamy custard texture.
- Once your tart crusts have cooled, evenly pour the custard mixture into each crust; it should fill just below the top.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the custard is just set and lightly jiggly in the center.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh lemon juice, zest, and sugar. Continuously stir while cooking to dissolve the sugar.
- Keep stirring for about 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once the custard filling has cooled entirely, carefully layer fresh strawberries over the top of each tart for a beautiful presentation.
- Drizzle the homemade lemon curd generously over the strawberries, allowing some to pool in the custard.
- To enhance the flavors, refrigerate the assembled Strawberry Honey Custard Tarts for at least an hour before serving.

Notes
Chill your butter for a flaky tart crust. Ensure the custard filling is thoroughly whisked for a smooth consistency. Use fresh strawberries whenever possible for the best flavor.
