  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).

Shape and bake the flower shells.

  • Flour the working surface, and roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap until it's about l ⅛ - ¼ inch (3-6 mm) thick.
  • Use a 3 1/2 inch (9cm) flower-shaped cookie cutter and cut out 12 flowers, re-rolling scraps as needed.
  • Carefully press dough into a mini muffin tin, leaving space between them, alternating cups.
  • Freeze for 15 minutes before baking.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • Prick the bottom of the tarts with a fork.
  • Bake for about 10-13 minutes or until slightly golden at the edges.
  • Let them cool completely in the pan.

Prepare the white chocolate lemon ganache.

  • Add lemon zest and stir to combine.
  • Fill the flower tarts with chocolate lemon ganache.
  • Sprinkle the tarts with powdered sugar and top with more lemon zest.
