TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min. + cooling
YIELD: 2 dozen.

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust

  • FILLING:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 jar (10 ounces) lemon curd, divided
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Confectioners' sugar, optional

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450°. On a work surface, unroll crusts. Cut 24 circles with a floured 3-in. scalloped round cookie cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary. Press circles onto bottoms and partway up sides of ungreased muffin cups, smoothing edges. Prick bottoms generously with a fork.
  • 2. Bake until light golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and vanilla until blended; beat in 1/4 cup lemon curd. Fold in a third of the whipped topping, then fold in remaining topping.
  • 4. Spoon 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture into each tart shell; top each with 1 teaspoon lemon curd. Top with blueberries; refrigerate until serving. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar.
