5-minute Lemon curd and Strawberry Tart - For one

Ever wanted something sweet, and quick?
Heck yes!

I have a mini tart bowl, but even a regular Corelle bowl will work.
I used my bullet blender, which has made life so much easier and I don't know how I've lived without it so long.

The crust is powdery but goes well with the curd and cream. It tastes like shortbread.
The Curd is Dickinson Lemon Curd

Directions:
(*Note, all measurements are approximations)

For the crust:
2 large or 3 scant Tblsp cold butter
1/8c almond flour
1/4c tapioca starch
dash-1/8tsp guar gum (or equivalent, also not entirely necessary)
Dash cinnamon

Blend, press into bowl, microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. A little golden in the middle or on the edges is fine. In fact, nuke it until that happens.

For the Curd:
Buy or make one you like.
Spread into the finished crust.

For the Cream:
Using the bullet blender (or any preferred method) blend cream, capful of vanilla, and two spoons of sugar. Adjust amount of sugar or vanilla to your preference.
Takes less than a minute this way.
Dollop onto the curd.

Cut rinsed strawberries and put on the cream, and enjoy.
