    Mini Blueberry Coconut Tarts with Blueberry Curd Filling

    Around this time every year, my daughter and I make the quick trip up north to Temecula to harvest blueberries at a berry farm. Even though it is always unbearably hot, we always have a great time. It always amazes me at just how many blueberries she can eat. But hey it's fruit right...so no complaints.

    I, however, have never really liked them apart from the occasional blueberry muffin. Anna and I go a bit over board when harvesting (anything for that matter) and we usually come home with enough fresh blueberries for 2 weeks and then enough to freeze for the rest of the year.

    Mini Blueberry Coconut Tarts with Blueberry Curd

    Well it is that time of year again, and I must make room for the new lot. Hence the back to back blueberry posts. The blueberry curd is smooth and silky, which is complimented perfectly by the flaky coconut scented shortbread crust. These mini tarts would be perfect for a picnic!

    I saw this recipe on tasty kitchen and knew I had to make it! I cannot wait to try the same technique with other fruits! Can you imagine raspberry curd ?!?!?! For the original recipe/ posting visit BakeAholicmama.
