Ingredients:

• 1 package (15 count) frozen phyllo shells
• 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup lemon curd
• 1 pint fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

Directions:

1. Prepare the Whipped Cream:

• Chill your tools: Place a medium-sized metal bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill. This helps the whipping cream firm up faster for a perfect whipped texture.

2. Make the Whipped Lemon Cream:

• Whip the cream: Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer. Add the whipping cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the mixture until medium peaks form.
• Add the lemon curd: In a separate small bowl, whisk the lemon curd until smooth. Gently fold the lemon curd into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth.

3. Assemble the Tartlets:

• Fill the phyllo shells: Spoon the whipped lemon cream mixture into each of the frozen phyllo shells.
• Top with blueberries: Place fresh blueberries on top of each tartlet, covering the lemon cream.

4. Garnish and Serve:

• Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle a little fresh lemon zest over each tartlet for an extra burst of flavor, and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
• Enjoy immediately! These tartlets are best enjoyed fresh.

Recipe Notes:

• Lemon Curd: Store-bought lemon curd works well in this recipe, but if you have homemade lemon curd on hand, it will elevate the flavor even more.
• Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the whipped lemon cream mixture in advance and keep it in the fridge for up to a day, assembling the tartlets just before serving to keep the phyllo shells crisp.
