I think I overcooked the curd a bit. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as smooth as it could have been.

I had some trouble getting the pastry to roll out thinly. I ended up using a food processor to help me.

I used a different type of berry for the curd, and it turned out just as well.

These raspberry curd tartlets were a delightful treat! The curd was smooth and creamy, with a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. The pastry was flaky and buttery, and the combination of flavors was simply irresistible.
