1. Let pie crusts stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray. For pastry shells, unroll pie crusts.

2. For tartlet filling, in a medium bowl combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cornstarch; stir in berries and lemon juice. Spoon berry mixture into pastry shells. Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully remove tartlets from muffin cups; cool completely on wire rack.

A few notes: don't thaw the berries; 20 minutes was a little too long, check them at 15; the whipping cream/lemon curd mixture does not whip up like regular whipped cream, it's more of a mousse or thick pudding. Also, I thought only getting 6 cuts out of the pie crusts was wasteful. I was able to get 18 minis out of them, with still a bit leftover. Delicious!!
