Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly roll out the puff pastry and cut into rounds slightly larger than your tartlet cups. Press each round into a cup shape, prick the bottoms with a fork, and bake until puffed and golden, about 10–12 minutes. Let cool completely before filling.
2
In a mixing cup, combine cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Strain and pour into your cream whipper. Charge with one N2O charger, shake, and chill.
3
Spread a layer of lemon curd into each cooled tart shell.
4
Assemble fresh berries in center of each tart.
5
Optional: warm apricot jam slightly and brush over berries for a glossy finish.
6
Top with lemon whipped cream in small rosettes around the edge just before serving.
