Lemon Curd Tarts in Phyllo Dough Cups
Ingredients
Lemon Curd Tarts
- 1 package phyllo dough sheets
Lemon Curd Filling
- 8 ounces heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup Lemon Curd
Instructions
Lemon Curd Tarts
- Lay the phyllo dough out flat. If the dough cracks and crumbles as you are spreading it out, the dough is old and you need to start over with a new box.
- When the dough is flat, cover it with a damp towel. Remove one sheet and spray it with PAM, remove a second sheet-place it on top of the first sheet and spray it with PAM. Add one more sheet for a total of three and spray with PAM. Cut the stack into 8 equal-size pieces and press it into a mini muffin tin. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of phyllo cups.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for about 6 minutes. Watch the tart shells very carefully - they will burn quickly.
- Remove the shells from the oven and cool.
- Store at room temperature or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Lemon Curd Filling
- Stir cornstarch into heavy cream; beat on high speed, adding the confectioners' sugar a small amount at a time. Beat until the cream is heavy enough to hold a peak. By hand, fold in the lemon or lime curd and chill. Spoon into the prepared phyllo dough cup and top with a berry.
