Just like me, my mom loves anything lemon, so that makes this tasty treat the perfect dessert for our Mother's Day celebration. Not only will we enjoy eating this elegant dessert, I'll enjoy how easy it is to make! shhhh don't tell mom I'm taking the easy way out for her Mother's Day dessert, she'll no doubt think I slaved over these impressive pastries!

The buttery flaky puff pastry is already made, so I just have to unfold, cut out some circles, and bake them for 15 minutes. Check out this video on allrecipes to see just how easy these are to make.

The Luscious Lemon Curd is sweet and tangy and made in the microwave in just 3 minutes! It's true! Lemon Curd is so easy to make and nothing compares to the taste. My mouth waters just thinking of the tangy creaminess bursting with fresh lemon flavor! It is so good!

I topped off these beautiful tarts with blackberries, because of the black and yellow color combo. Sounds a little weird for Mother's Day, but I have other plans for this tasty treat! You may have heard we are planning to celebrate my daughter's graduation from college in just 20 days!! So what does that have to do with blackberries you ask? That's a good question! Her school colors are black and gold, which makes this a perfect addition to our dessert table to celebrate this momentous occasion, don't ya think? I think it's brilliant! However, just about any berry will go great atop this delectable treat. I recommend trying raspberries and blueberries too. Yummm

Lemon Blackberry Mini Tarts

By Life Tastes Good
Published 05/10/2015

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry
• 1 egg beaten
• Luscious Lemon Curd
• Blackberries
• Confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Tip: Make the Luscious Lemon Curd ahead of time so it has time to chill. The day before is best. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Allow puff pastry to thaw for about 5 minutes until you are able to unfold the pastry and lay flat. Using a round cookie cutter the size you want your tarts (I used a 2" round cutter), cut out as many circles as you can. I was able to get 12. Place the circles on the parchment lined baking sheet. Using a smaller round cookie cutter, cut out inner circles in each and leave the inner circle in place. Brush each pastry with the beaten egg and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until nicely browned and puffed. Cool completely.
3. Once cooled, carefully cut around the inner circle and push it down inside the pastry creating a nice little opening for adding the lemon curd.
4. Fill each pastry cup with lemon curd and top with a blackberry. Dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with finely grated lemon zest. Enjoy!

Yield: about 12 mini tarts
Prep Time: 10 mins.

Cook time: 15 mins.
Total time: 25 mins.
