    Tangerine Ginger Tartlets: Sweet Citrus Treats with a Kick

    March 23, 2022 Filed Under: Desserts, Pies and Cobblers

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Tangerine Ginger Tartlets have a creamy tangerine curd filling in a zippy ginger oat crumb crust. Make it a whole pie or individual servings.

    This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

    Tangerine Ginger Tartlets are lovely individual serving size desserts perfect for all of your Springtime events.

    Spring is a great time for individual desserts: a little something sweet but portion controlled to help you exercise your will power knowing swimsuit weather is just around the corner.

    I made these tartlets in my jumbo muffin tins without liners so you could see the beautiful layers in the photos. Removing them from the pan wasn't the easiest, so you may want to opt for some pretty cupcake liners for easy removal.

    For the tangerine curd I used my adaptation of Ina Garten's citrus curd method using whole eggs. It works like a dream and saves the step of separating eggs. If tangerine isn't your thing use your favorite citrus fruit and adjust the sugar if needed.

    The crust is a basic graham cracker crust with special ginger flavored graham oat cookies. If you don't have the cookies you can add a dash of ginger to plain boring graham cracker crumbs.

    Thanks Dixie Crystals and Nairn's

    These Tangerine Ginger Tartlets were made extra delicious thanks to two of our awesome sponsors:

    Dixie Crystals has been the only sugar in my house, for years! I am a firm believer that pure cane sugar makes a difference in the quality of my baking and canning.

    My friends have raved about Nairn's Oat Grahams for years, and I am so glad I finally tried them. They are lightly sweet crunchy bars of oat graham deliciousness. I used the ginger ones with crystallized ginger baked inside to make the crust. Sooo goooood!

    Ingredients
     

    Tangerine Curd

    • 5-6 tangerines
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 6 tablespoons butter
    • 4 eggs

    Ginger Oat Crust

    • ⅔ cup Nairn's Ginger Oat Grahams crumbs (see note)
    • ¼ cup butter (melted)
    • 2 tablespoons sugar (OPTIONAL)

    Instructions
     

    Ginger Oat Crust

    • Preheat oven to 350°. OPTIONAL: line a jumbo or regular muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
    • Crush the cookies with a rolling pin, or put them in the food processor to get ⅔ cups. Add to a small bowl with melted butter and sugar if using.
    • Reserve a few tablespoon crumb mixture for topping. Divide the remaining crumb mixture between the wells of a jumbo muffin tin or 8 wells of a regular muffin tin.
    • Bake at 350° for about 10 minutes. Place on a cooling rack to cool.

    Tangerine Curd

    • Zest 1 of the tangerines using a citrus zester or box grater. Cut the tangerines in half, remove seeds and juice to get approximately 1 cup juice.
    • Put the zest and sugar in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the zest and sugar are mixed together.
    • Add the butter and pulse to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, pulsing until blended.
    • Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and stir in the tangerine juice.
    • Cook over low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Remove from heat and cool.

    Tangerine Ginger Tartlets

    • Divide the curd evenly between the crusts. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs.
    • Refrigerate until the curd is firm, 2-3 hours.
    • To serve: gently slide a knife around each tartlet then gently push the knife into the center to pop the tartlet out of the pan. If using liners just remove from pan.
    • Slide on to individual plate and serve.

    Notes

    If you do not have the Ginger Oat Grahams use ⅔ cups crushed graham crackers with ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon ginger (depending on how much ginger you like).
