The individual fruit tarts were a big hit. They did taste good, but I suspect a big part of their success was psychology. It's a delight to be able to commandeer your own adorably adorned dessert.
* Strawberries leach color when set on lemon curd. It's the curd's acidity that does it. I'll have to find a solution.
* As predicted, grated dark chocolate makes a lovely foil for the bright lemon curd. It's difficult to grate properly. I'll work on a solution.
* Blueberries are a little too subtle for the lemon curd. They work beautifully with the vanilla custard.
* Some people like the taste of crust, some don't. Fortunately, the vanilla lets the crust shine through, whereas the lemon curd masks it.
* I should have searched for pastry cream recipes instead of vanilla custard. Odds are good this search would have yielded better results.
