Time 1h10m

Yield 36 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge FarmĀ® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
1 egg, beaten
1/2 of an 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup prepared lemon curd
1/2 cup thawed frozen whipped topping
Fresh raspberry or blueberries

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 36 (1 1/2-inch) mini muffin-pan cups.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Cut into 36 (2-inch) squares. Press the pastry squares into the muffin-pan cups. Brush the top edges of the pastry squares with the egg. Prick the centers of the pastries with a fork.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Using the back of a spoon, press down the centers of the hot pastries to make an indentation. Let the pastries cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove the pastry cups from the pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the lemon curd. Fold in the whipped topping.
  • Pipe or spoon about 1 teaspoon cheese mixture into each pastry cup. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until the set. Top each tartlet with 1 raspberry.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tbsp lemon curd
2 x 200g tubs Philadelphia lite cheese
6 tbsp summer fruit sauce , from a bottle
8 sweet dessert tartlet cases (from a pack)
100g blueberries
100g raspberry
1 tbsp cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
icing sugar , for dusting
fresh mint sprigs

Steps:

  • Be a clever cheat and save huge amounts of time by using ready-made tartlet case, and once filled look as professional as handmade ones
  • Beat the lemon curd into the soft cheese until smooth and creamy. Pour 1 tsp of summer fruit sauce into each dessert tartlet then top with a spoonful of the cheese mixture (set aside the remainder). Carefully mix the berries together then pile onto the cheese mixture. Stir the cassis into the remaining sauce. (You can make the tarts and sauce up to this stage and chill for 2-3 hours.) Dust the tarts with icing sugar. Drizzle lines of the sauce over half of 4 dinner plates with a teaspoon and spoon the remaining cheesecake mixture in the centre. Put 2 tarts on each plate, propping one of the tarts against the cheese. Add a sprig of mint for an extra flourish.
