We entertain quite a bit throughout the summer which means I try always try to keep ingredients on-hand that can be whipped into a simple appetizer or dessert at a moment’s notice. That’s why I love this recipe for Wild Blueberry-Lemon Curd Cookie Tarts because the different components can be made ahead and then assembled when needed.
As you know, I’m not afraid to take a shortcut or create some clever swap ups when I need to which is why I’m using the “ready to make” refrigerated cookies versus making my own cookie dough. Don’t get me wrong, we love making homemade cookies in this household but when I need something fast, the refrigerated version is a nice option. Plus, you can make the cookie cups ahead of time, let them cool and then freeze in an airtight container until you’re ready to fill them with the sweet wild blueberry-lemon curd.
If you’ve never made lemon curd before, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s such a nice ingredient to have in your refrigerator for topping everything from ice cream to pound cake. For my simple stovetop wild blueberry-lemon curd, I’m using Eggland’s Best eggs which offer six times more vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat and more than double the omega-3s compared to ordinary eggs.
Since I’m already using a superior ingredient like Eggland’s Best eggs, I decided to give the curd a flavor boost by using wild blueberries over regular blueberries. You can find wild blueberries in the freezer section of most grocery stores. These tiny little berries have double the amount of fiber and a more intense blueberry flavor. This recipe will yield extra wild blueberry-lemon curd so be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
These adorable tarts are sure to be your go-to dessert when entertaining this summer.
