These two-bite tarts (three if you're daintier than I) are ideal for entertaining - they're perfect finger food, they look great, and they take - I'm not kidding - not even 10 minutes to make. Taste-wise, the filling is just right. Sour cream, cream cheese, whipping cream, lemon zest, brown sugar, and a little vanilla. It's the perfect base for those beautiful bursts of blueberries.
