Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line tartlet tins.

Prick the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent bubbling.

In a bowl, mix curds, sugar, and softened butter until smooth.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in nutmeg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined.

Pour the curd mixture into the pastry-lined tins.

Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and golden, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
