Instructions
Dough
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. By hand, using a standing mixer, or a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fully combined. Add in lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, egg, vanilla, and almond. Stir.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix dry ingredients into wet.
  5. Gradually, add more flour (about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup) until dough feels manageable and not sticky.
  6. Lightly grease 8 mini tart tins, press cookie dough in tart pans, about 1/4" thick. Place parchment paper on top of dough and then place baking beans atop each tart pan. The added weight will ensure the dough will not rise too much.
  7. Bake for about 8-10 or until done.
Pudding
  1. Follow boxed instructions, or whisk instant pudding mix into 2 cups of milk. Whisk about 5 minutes. Add in the lemon juice, and give it a quick whisk.
Whipped Cream
  1. Pour heavy cream into a bowl, and with a hand mixer or a standing mixer, whip the cream until it reaches soft peaks, about 5-8 minutes.
  2. Gently fold cream into the pudding mix. Because the tart is already sweet enough, there is no need to add any sugar to the cream mixture.
Last Step
  1. When the cookies are cooled, pull out of tart pans. Spoon in pudding mixture, about a 1/4 cup in each tart shell. Top with sliced fruit.
  2. Enjoy!
