Would you be able to make these lemon curd treats early?
These lemon curd treats can be made early. You should simply make the mixture, structure them into the treats (with the thumbprint) and freeze the batter balls. (Spot on a sheet skillet to freeze and afterward move to a sealed shut compartment/pack).
The solidified treat batter will last somewhere in the range of 3-6 months in the cooler. (Heated treats with the curd don't freeze well overall and neither does the coating.)

Subsequent to including the lemon curd in, we cool the treats again for 5-10 minutes. We need the treats freezing and firm before going into the broiler.
Completely beat the spread and sugar: beating the adulate and sugar cushions the mixture with air which will give these treats the ideal establishment for incredible surface. Take as much time as is needed here to guarantee the margarine and sugar is all around mixed.
Make the lemon curd at any rate one day ahead of time: the curd should be completely thickened and throughly chilled before adding to the treats. You can make the curd 3-4 days ahead of time before making.
Try not to stuff the indent of the treats with the lemon curd: an excess of curd and it will overflow the treat, consume on the sheet dish, and make an enormous wreckage.
