Sing with me……
Daisy, Daisy, give me you answer true.
I’m half-crazy all for the love of you.
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage;
But you’ll look sweet
Upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.
I love daisies!!!!
And these daisies consist of only 4 ingredients.
How easy is that….which is what Ina Garten would say.
I did see a recipe for these in a Pillsbury ad for their pie crust, but you can make your own if you like.
Pillsbury used cream cheese in thee base and jam on the top, but I used lemon curd and no cream cheese.
A couple years ago, I saw this recipe in one of my Taste of Home Magazines….Yes, I still save each and every one of them and it is almost time for them to have their own room in this house….LOL.
Ok, maybe not that bad…but I do have a lot of them and I have made these little daisies over and over again because they are so easy to make, and the little tartlets are always a big hit with the Captain and all our friends and family.
I love flowers…real and faux…AND I love making cookies shaped like flowers and these little tartlets are the best! Not only are they pretty and make you think of Spring….they taste delicious!
I bet you can’t eat just one.
I kid you not.
I have been making these for the last three days and boxing them up and giving them to friends. (That is those left from my “tasting” test.)
I am sorry, they are delish.
I have been experimenting with my cookie cutters…large, small and medium, and I have been experimenting with ingredients.
The ingredients are so simple…raspberry jam, lemon curd (or you can use lemon pie filling) and fresh raspberries.
You can change up the fruit which I did when I used blueberries.
Instead of popping a fresh raspberry on the top of the lemon curd…I used a pretty blueberry.
I also used blueberry preserves underneath the lemon curd.
By the way, you can find lemon curd in the jelly section of your supermarket or you can use lemon pie filling.
They are pretty much the same when it comes to this recipe.
Anyway, you roll out the pie dough and using a cookie cutter…cut out the tartlets. (About 8 tartlets per round of pie dough)
Gently put them in a mini cupcake pan letting the petals rest on the top…and bake.
I made large and small daisies….
When cool, add the powdered sugar to the petals….or in the whole tartlet as I began doing….
and add the jam……
followed by the lemon curd
and topped off with a fresh raspberry.
AND I double dog dare you not to start popping these little tartlets in your mouth. Yummy!
So if you are needing something that is easy to make and sooooo pretty, I suggest you try these Daisy Tartlets.
You won’t be sorry.
The handy dandy printable recipe is below.
Come on now…you know you want to make these!! 🙂
Have a great day my dear readers.
Hugs Always
- 2 Pillsbury pie dough (from the refrigerated section of your supermarket)
- 1 small jar of raspberry jam or preserves (you won’t use much of this)
- 1 small jar of lemon curd (or you can use a can of lemon pie filling)
- fresh raspberries
- powdered sugar
- 1 package of dried split peas (optional…I used them to “sit” the tartlets, pretty garnish too.)
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and lightly spray a mini cupcake pan
- Roll out pie dough on lightly floured surface
- Using a flower shaped cookie cutter, cut out about 8 tartlets per pie dough round (or however many your cookie cutter can allow)
- Gently press the “flower” into the mini cupcake pan, allowing the “petals” to drape over the cup.
- Bake for about 5 minutes…or until slightly brown. (watch this closely and don’t burn your petals)
- Remove the tartlet flowers from the pan and allow to cool on a rack
- Dust the petals of the tartlet with powdered sugar….I started dusting the whole flower….your choice.
- Using a very small spoon, add a bit of raspberry jam to the bottom of the flower. (do not add too much or your lemon curd will not “hide” the raspberry jam)
- Next, add a teaspoon of lemon curd….and top with a fresh raspberry
- Garnish if desired with daffodil blossoms, real or faux
- I spread out the dried split peas on a white platter (or plate) to resemble grass under the flowers…plus it helped to keep the little tartlets level for pictures.
- Of course you can make your own pie crust, lemon curd and use a different jam….but this is sooooo pretty.
How adorable are these. Looks so complicated but so simple. Perfect for a Summer baby shower <3
Your little lemon curd tarts are so cute, especially for a summer get together. I’ll be taking some to the next party that I’m asked to bring a dessert.
These wouldn’t last a minute at my house! As much as I love to give away my baked goods, these wouldn’t leave the house. Love the daisy design and the recipe.

I’ve made those! They are fabulous, and look adorable in presentation.
I sang that little ditty in a 3rd grade play with the classmate boy I was crushing on at the time, and I will never forget it, the costumes and props (bicycle, of course). His mother was the “director”, lol. Thanks for the memory!
thank you Rita for stopping by….and as you know I sing about “everything”. LOL Oh, the memories we conjure up as we drift down memory lane,.is this a sign we are getting old?
Nah!!!!
SO CUTE AND YUMMY! I will look for that cookie cutter so I can make these. Love lemon flavored anything. PJ Newman
thanks PJ…I love to make things that are pretty, but quick and easy. Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Kari, those tartlets would be perfect with my morning coffee. I love lemon curd, and often make it. Thanks for sharing and Happy Thursday my friend!
Happy Thursday to you dear Pam….I love simple and easy and these tartlets are certainly that.
