Equipment

  • medium sauce pan
  • large mixing bowl
  • Tart pans
  • whisk
  • Pastry blender

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 ¾ cups flour
  • ¾ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • ½ cup butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup cold water plus 2 tablespoons

For the Filling

  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Lemon Curd

  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup lemon zest about 2 lemons
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • Pinch of coarse salt

Instructions
 

Make the lemon curd

  • In a medium sauce pan over low heat, whisk together butter, sugar, lemon juice, zest and salt until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, whisking until fully mixed each time.
  • Cook over low heat about 8-9 minutes, whisking frequently, until somewhat thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.

Make the Pie Dough

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
  • Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt until fully combined.
  • Add the cubed butter, and using either a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the mixture until the pieces are around the size of a pea.
  • Pour in the vanilla extract, and cold water. Stir until the dough clumps together.
  • Move the dough to a floured surface and fold the dough into itself until the flour is incorporated and forms a ball.
  • Divide the dough into quarters and pat each one down into four discs, about ½ inch thick. Wrap in plastic and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to an hour.
  • Remove the dough from fridge. Roll it out into 5-inch circles and use to line four 4-inch tart pans. Crimp the edges as desired.
  • Prick the bottoms with a fork. Line the chilled dough crusts with parchment paper and fill each with baking beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and beans. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.

Assemble the Tarts

  • Make the filling: Whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together and then stir in the honey yogurt.
  • Place the strawberries on top of the cooled crust. Pour the filling over the strawberries.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until crust is golden and custard filling is set.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, drizzle with lemon curd, and serve.

Notes

If you prefer one large pie to the individual tarts, use a 12-inch single tart pan and cook for 40-45 minutes.
