  3. Melt butter in small saucepan

  4. Mix the melted butter wtih the cookie crumbs until evenly coated

  5. Line tart pans with parchment liners

  6. Press crumbs into bottom of pan and a little up the sides (use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to firmly press the crumbs into the pan - I forgot to do this in my video demo!)

  7. Bake for 15 minutes until crust turns golden brown and is not visibly liquidy - the curst will still be a little soft, but will harden as it cools

  8. Prepare the cranberry curd while the crust is cooking and cooling

SCD Cranberry Curd

  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, and honey

  3. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to medium

  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries soften and burst (about 10 minutes)

  5. Remove the cranberry mixture from heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the skins and pulp, you should have a smooth, vibrant cranberry puree

  6. Slowly temper the eggs by whisking in a small amount of the warm cranberry puree to prevent scrambling

  7. Once tempered, return the egg mixture and cranberry puree to the saucepan

  8. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the curd thickens (about 5 minutes)

  9. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated

Fill the Tarts

  1. Spoon the warm cranberry curd into the cooled tart shells and spread into an even layer

  2. Refrisgerate for at least four hours to allow the curd to firm up

Whipped Topping

  2. Beat on high speed with an electric, or stand, mixer until yogurt is fluffy

Top Your Tarts
