Lemon Curd Tarts

Sari one of our lovely staff members has been experimenting in the kitchen and made these gorgeous Lemon Curd Tarts! 

We thought you'd enjoy the recipe so she has shared it with us for you to try at home! They are both gluten free and dairy free so a great wee treat for those with food allergies or intolerance's.
