  I made these as one of the deserts at my 40th birthday. I had a lot to do but this one was so easy, a bit of a cheat really and it left me with a lot of time for all the other cooking.

  I made these as a quick and easy dessert as I was catering for 10 and needed something very simple. They were delicious and looked great, everyone loved them and took extra ones home. I will definitely make them again.

  Rather than "cheating" my way through this one, I used the pastry from the Ultimate Lemon Meringue Pie recipe to make my own tartlets and just squished up some of the berries and icing sugar to make the sauce. I haven't rated this recipe since because I replaced the lemon curd with orange curd and used half mascarpone and half philidelphia it wouldn't be very fair. However, they did turn out tasty, but I would probably try to reduce some of the sweetness where possible next time.

  Really easy & very impressive. I added the zest of one lemon as I know that my guests likes things punchy, will definitely do again, especially as they take little time & effort.

  I liked the 'no hassle' sound of this recipe and was not disappointed. I had quite a lot of cooking to do for a family party so decided to have a go at these to take the stress out of dessert! I could not find the shortcrust pastry tarlet cases so used puff pastry ones from tesco - worked perfectly! The cream cheese and lemon curd mix was delicious and I saved the left overs to enjoy with strawberrries the next day!! Well worth a try.....

  I fancy making these but don't want to buy a bottle of Cassis just for one tablespoon. Is there anything else that can be substituted?

  I made these at the weekend for a girlie lunch. Used light Philly and the taste was still superb. Girls couldn't believe how easy they were to make when I told them - this is definitely one to hold on to.

  I made loads of these for my 50th birthday bash and nobody would believe I'd made them, they looked like they'd come straight from a patisserie. But they're so easy to do, embarrassingly so really - I made 48 in about 15 minutes! What a winner and they taste fab too.

  These look great but does it mean it takes 2-3 hours to set the cheesecake or is it all set in 15minutes? also do u have to serve straight away? xxx

  the recipe is very nice and very easy but the amount given for philadelphia is WAY out. I thought it looked a lot but went along with it - I ended up making 16 tartlets (and I don't think many people would manage 2 each) with that amount -although I added much more lemon curd to the mix as I suspect the amount given is for a much smaller number of tartlet cases. Is it really supposed to say 2 tubs required for 4 people??

  I made these for a dinner party, and they were brilliant. However I did find that if left in the fridge overnight the cheese bit was firmer and the pastry became a little softer, which when some of the shop bought tartlet cases are a bit crunchy was actually quite handy.
