With the weather being so hot and humid lately, I thought it the perfect time to have a nice and light citrus dessert as opposed to a heavy pound cake or chocolate pie. This is one of the earliest desserts I can remember making. I first made them for a dinner party my Nan had for her neighbors. She made a cake and I made these. Since then, she is always asking me to make these. Everyone loved these and asked for the recipe. I am not a big chocolate person. If there is a choice between something chocolate and something citrus, I would go for the citrus. The wonderful thing about this is that you can use and citrus flavor you want. It is not strictly for any one flavor. They are so simple yet so good. All you do is blind bake some tart shells. Then, make a mixture of a citrus curd of your choice, yogurt, and powdered sugar. Once the shells cool completely, simply fill them with the citrus mixture and top with whipped cream. They are meant to be served chilled, I wouldn't leave them at room temperature for too long. They are great during the summer for a picnic or pool party. I prefer them year round due to them being so simple to make. These can be found on page 62 of my cookbook above. Bon Appetit!
