To make the candied lemons:

To make the tarts:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Mist 8 mini tart pans (you can also use a muffin tin) with cooking spray.
-

In a small bowl, add honey, coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Microwave for 15 seconds. Stir until everything is combined. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, pecans, shredded coconut, and chia seeds until evenly combined. Add in the honey mixture, and toss until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
-
9
Divide the oat mixture evenly between the mini tart pans, pressing the granola firmly into bottoms and up the sides of the tart pans. Then place the pans on a baking tray.
-

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the granola is toasted around the edges. Let cool before gently removing the granola tarts from the pans.

To make the curd:
In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together sugar, lemon juice, sea salt, vanilla, eggs, and egg yolks until all ingredients are fully combined.

Fill a small pot with about 1" of water. Bring to a low boil. Place bowl with egg mixture over the pot. Add in half the butter and keep whisking until fully melted. Add in the rest of the butter and continue to whisk.

Continuously whisk for approximately 10-12 minutes until the lemon curd reaches a thick, velvety texture.

Remove the bowl from heat and allow the lemon curd to sit and cool to room temperature.

Place a spoonful of curd mixture over each granola tart. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving. As the lemon curd cools it will continue to thicken up. Top with a dollop of whip cream and candied pink lemon slices.
