Lemon-Blackberry Mini Tarts

When blackberries are in season, make these mini desserts! They're quick to put together and yummy as can be. My own son is addicted to them. : )


Ingredients

  • 1/2- 15 ounce package folded refrigerated unbaked piecrust (1 crust)
  • 1/2- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup purchased lemon curd
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons seedless blackberry spreadable fruit
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 4 mint sprigs
  • Powdered sugar



Directions

  1. Let pie crust stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Unfold pie crust. Cut four 4-1/2- to 5-inch rounds from pie crust. Press rounds firmly into bottom and up sides of four 3-1/2- to 4-inch individual tart pans with removable bottoms. Trim crusts even with top of pans. Prick bottoms of each crust several times with tines of a fork. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool completely on wire rack.
  2. In a small mixing bowl beat cream cheese and lemon curd with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Divide filling among pastry shells, spreading evenly. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours or until well chilled.
  3. Before serving, remove from pans; arrange tarts on plates. Arrange berries on each tart. Combine spreadable fruit and lemon juice; spoon over tarts. Add a mint sprig, and sift powdered sugar over tops. Makes 4 servings.
