Roll out the sweet pastry to 3 mm thickness and line the tart rings. Place baking beans ( so the tarts do not puff up) and bake at 180 Degree C till the edges start coloring.
Remove from the oven and pour in strained lemon custard till the brim. Bake at 150 degree C till the custard cooks inside the tart. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes. When you shake the baking tray, the custard should wobble a little.
Remove and cool. Garnish with a piping of whipped cream and chocolate discs.
