Cook: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice

  • 1 package (1.9 ounces) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells, thawed
  • Fresh raspberries, mint leaves and/or sweetened whipped cream, optional

Directions

  1. In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and zest until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
