Perfect for Summer Tea Parties or Simple Sweet Moments

Perfect if you like tart with a little bit of sweet

Some desserts just feel like summer. Light, sweet, tart, refreshing—and, of course, easy. These Raspberry Lemon Phyllo Tartlets are one of my favorite simple treats when I want something a little special without spending hours in the kitchen.

They’re perfect for:

  • Afternoon tea with friends

  • A sweet bite after a light lunch

  • Adding something “extra” to your summer brunch or picnic spread

And the best part? You can assemble them in minutes with just a handful of ingredients.



🍋 Why I Love These Tartlets

  • Bite-sized 

  • Bright raspberry + lemon flavors feel like summer in every bite

  • You can make them ahead of time and chill them until ready to serve

  • No fancy baking skills required (promise)

📝 The Recipe



Ingredients:

  • Mini Phyllo Pastry Shells (I use Wegmans)

  • Raspberry Jelly (seedless)

  • Water

  • Lemon Curd

  • Fresh Raspberries

Quick How-To:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F; bake the phyllo shells briefly to crisp.

  2. Melt raspberry jelly with a splash of water.

  3. Fill each cooled shell with a spoonful of lemon curd.

  4. Top with a raspberry, brush gently with jelly, and chill before serving.

These look like you fussed—but you totally didn’t.

🥗 What to Serve with Them

Want to create a simple summer tea or lunch around these little beauties? Here are a few of my go-to pairings:

Easy Light Lunch Ideas:

  • Cucumber Sandwiches with fresh dill & cream cheese

  • Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups (skip the bread for extra lightness)

  • Fresh Fruit Skewers with melon, grapes, and strawberries

Drink Pairings:

  • Iced Green Tea with Mint & Honey

  • Sparkling Lemon Water with frozen raspberries as “ice cubes”

  • Chilled Raspberry Iced Tea

Honestly, even a cold lemonade works beautifully.

🫖 Perfect for Afternoon Tea

I love the idea of setting up a little afternoon tea moment—just for yourself or with friends. Nothing fancy, just:

  • A small plate of light bites

  • These sweet little tartlets

  • A cozy corner or sunny patio

  • Your favorite playlist or quiet background music

Sometimes joy really is that simple.
