Ingredients
1 ¾ cups flour
¾ teaspoons sea salt
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
½ cup butter, chilled and cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons cold water
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
5 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar
½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Pinch of coarse salt
Instructions
Make the Lemon Curd:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, whisk together butter, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, zest, and a pinch of salt.
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, cool completely, then chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Make the Pie Dough:
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 ½ teaspoon sugar, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
Add chilled cubed butter, and cut into the mixture until pea-sized. Stir in vanilla extract and cold water until the dough forms.
Move to a floured surface, fold until incorporated. Divide and flatten into discs. Chill for 15 minutes to an hour.
Roll out and line four 4-inch tart pans. Prick bottoms, line with parchment and baking beans, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove beans and cool.
Assemble the Tarts:
Whisk 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons sugar, vanilla extract, and stir in honey yogurt.
Arrange strawberries on cooled crusts, pour filling over.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool slightly, then drizzle with lemon curd.
