Sometimes just a little bit of something sweet is all it takes to satisfy your sweet tooth or feel like you've ended your meal on the right note. Or maybe you're just looking for a little snack! These citrusy mini dessert treats fit the bill for all of those times. They are superquick to prepare, and look beautiful set out on a platter for a casual bite or to cap off a dinner party. If you don’t have a zester for the garnish, use a Microplane grater or the small holes on a box grater. Prep ahead You can make the filling up to 2 days ahead, but wait until close to serving time to toast the tart shells in the oven, and then fill the cooled shells right before you serve them so they stay crisp.
