Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Make the Lemon Curd: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Stir until well mixed and the butter has melted. Gradually whisk in the eggs and cook until thickened.
  2. Prepare the Pie Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in vanilla and cold water to form dough. Chill for 15-60 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Tart Crusts: Roll out chilled dough and fit into tart pans. Prick bottoms, cover with parchment, fill with weights, and bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  4. Make the Custard Filling: Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Fold in honey yogurt. Layer sliced strawberries in tart crusts and pour custard filling on top.
  5. Bake the Tarts: Bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes or until custard is set. Cool for at least 5 minutes before adding chilled lemon curd on top.
