Strawberry and Lemon Curd Phyllo Baskets

This is my first time making lemon curd and OMG, I love it! This recipe was so simple with such grand presentation. All my friends were impressed. Maybe the phyllo sheets are different in sizes in the USA and Greece, because I had to use 8 phyllo sheets to get 12 4-inch squares. This will definitely be on my "make again" list! Thank you, Evelyn!

These were a huge hit...too bad I am on a diet and just one was a splurge for me...I could have eaten an entire tray!<br/><br/>I used five layers of phyllo for each cup and I made them smaller and used mini muffin pans so they were bite sized. Had to cut the strawberries up pretty small.<br/><br/>I guess the biggest issue w/ the strawberries is that they're not in season, so not super sweet. Maybe mixing in a littel sugar to get them sweet and juicy would be a good idea. If I make these again, I will try it with raspberries as I just think the combination of the lemon and raspberry would be better.<br/><br/>Will definitely make these again. :)

This was an outstanding dessert, Evelyn--lovely to look at and delicious to eat! I liked that most of the work could be done ahead, especially since this was my first time making lemon curd and only my second time working with filo. (All went quite well, except for that filo sheet casualty we won't talk about :)) It actually ended up being a pretty simple dessert, especially for one so flavorful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us!

I just make the lemon curd and placed then inbetween layers of toasted wonton wrappers. The lemon curd was great, this is my new lemon curd recipe to go to! Thanks for posting!

This went down a treat at work as we "christened" the newly opened conference room and kitchenette in our refurbished wing. I am on an elimination diet for allergies and not allowed flour etc so let 15 of my colleagues do my reviewing for me. If you can imagine them all stuffing their faces, the meeting beginning rather late and them saying ,"yum this is good " in French, Dutch, English, Italian and German around the table with their mouths full.. ...well you get the picture :) The one single negative comment made was that the lemon curd was maybe a little too runny, one person thought it could have been thicker - like a set custard tart<- (their idea). Personally I don't know if it's even possible to get lemon curd THAT set... but there you have it, 15 colleagues liked this very much indeed. I followed the instructions to the letter: filo pastry here comes in a package where the sheets are folded in three, once thawed it was very hard to hold a sheet together at the folded edges so I used the fold lines and cut each sheet in 3 along the long edge, then in half along the short edge. This meant that 4 sheets gave 6 filo shells, and there were 10 sheets in a package so I got 14 tartlets in all, probably a little smaller in size than your recipe states, but it worked for me.
