I'm glad this no-nut idea works for you, Wendy. I do love lemon curd and since the flavor is strong, I find a little satisfies my craving very well (for the moment, at least). I only made 9 first go-round and kept the rest of the curd in the fridge and baked another batch 2 days later. The sugar trick is interesting. I think if you are going to bake/eat them right away, it isn't totally necessary (just bake the cups w/o the sugar). If they need to hang out for a few hours, I think it's adding the sugar is a good trick. And since you're not having a sweet crust here and the curd is so tangy, that little extra sugar doesn't hurt.

Because they are so perfect for holiday mini desserts, as you said, I have been seeing a number of phyllo tart recipes, but they almost always include nuts as a major component. Not only do these not have nuts, but they are filled with my very favorite, lemon curd! (I think I have probably mentioned that even my wedding cake was filled with lemon curd!) Thanks for the tip about sprinkling with sugar before baking to keep the tarts crunchy. I am always amazed by your self-control making small batches! I need to do that too. Just not when the recipe involves lemon curd! ;) (I hope you will be sharing your crab cake filling, too!)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577199796409297591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-76721803051955858702015-11-28T08:39:05.168-05:002015-11-28T08:39:05.168-05:00Yummy!
