Very Berry Tarts

This is a great make-ahead dessert for a cocktail buffet, weekend brunch, or spring luncheon. You can prepare the curd and whipped topping mixture in advance; refrigerate separately until you're ready to serve. If you have prepared the other curd varieties, use all three on the dessert tray.

Ingredients
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Triple Berry Curd (recipe below)
2 (2.1-ounce) packages mini phyllo shells (such as Athens)
Grated lemon rind (optional)


Preparation
Spoon the yogurt onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels; let stand for 5 minutes. Scrape yogurt into a bowl using a rubber spatula.
Combine yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon rind in a medium bowl. Gently fold in whipped topping.

Spoon 1 teaspoon Triple Berry Curd into each phyllo shell; top each with 2 teaspoons yogurt mixture. Garnish with additional lemon rind, if desired. Serve immediately.

1 cup frozen blackberries, thawed
1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed
1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed

1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter


Preparation
Place all berries in a blender, and process until smooth. Press berry mixture through a sieve over a medium bowl using the back of a spoon, reserving 1 cup puree; discard seeds. Reserve any of remaining puree for another use; store in the refrigerator.
Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium, heavy saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Stir in 1 cup puree, juice, and eggs. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add butter, stirring gently until butter melts. Cool.

Spoon mixture into a medium bowl; cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight (mixture will thicken as it cools).
