An easy Easter dessert recipe that’s almost too pretty to eat!
Our favorite kind of recipes are ones that taste delicious and look impressive but are surprisingly easy to make. This Easter tart checks all those boxes. It’s yummy, festive, and can be whipped up in just 30 minutes!
Begin by laying out two store-bought puff pastry sheets on wax or parchment paper (to prevent it from sticking to your surface), overlapping about 1/4 of the pastry sheets. Use a rolling pin to join the two sheets while also widening and lengthening the sheets a bit. Use a pizza cutter to cut the pastry into the shape of an egg. Using your fingers, roll the edges of the pastry once or twice all the way around. Coat the entire pastry in an egg wash and poke a few holes with a fork. Bake the puff pastry for 8-10 minutes at 425 degrees.
While your puff pastry is in the oven, combine the cream cheese, lemon curd, sugar, cream, and vanilla to create your filling. Once the puff pastry is out of the oven and cooled, spread the filling evenly over the pastry stopping at the rolled edge.
To decorate your tart to look like an Easter egg, place the blueberries and pomegranate arils in an alternating zig-zag pattern. It’s easiest if you begin with the blueberries and then fill in between the blueberry zig-zags with the pomegranate arils. If you’re making this at a different time of year, skip the zig-zags and simply sprinkle the tart with pomegranate and blueberries. It’ll still look beautiful and it won’t look like an Easter egg.
