Tips for making lemon tarts with no added sugar.

Most mini phyllo cups come with no added sugar or with minimal sugar added. You can check the packaging as needed to make sure that yours have no added sugar in them.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best results. Prepackaged lemon juice often has other ingredients, such as sugar, added to it.
2. Use a rimmed baking sheet to bake your tarts in. A rimmed baking sheet will help keep your cups from shifting around and allow for them to be baked through.
3. These lemon tarts are done baking when the custard filling has set and the crust starts to turn golden brown. You can remove them from the pan and place them onto a cooling rack at this point to allow them to cool to room temperature.

How to store lemon tarts.

These mini lemon tarts should be allowed to fully cooled before being placed in an airtight container. When properly stored, these mini tarts should keep for up to three days refrigerated or two months when frozen.

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 and prepping a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. My tarts were made on a 9x13 baking sheet.
2. Place the phyllo cups on to the baking sheet so that there is room between each of the cups yet, they are able to stay in place while transferring to the oven.
3. Start by making the custard. In a large bowl combine together the condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, flour and salt. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
4. Next, use a scoop or tablespoon to fill each of the phyllo cups to about a half inch from the top.
5. Bake the filled phyllo cups for 16-19 minutes or until the custard has set and the cups start to turn golden brown.
6. Carefully transfer each of the baked cups to a cooling rack and allow them to fully cool and set (about 20 minutes at room temperature).
7. To serve the baked tarts, simply place a berry or your desired topping on top and enjoy.
