There is a time and place for a pint of ice cream and a spoon. Or for a pile of cookies or box of doughnuts. An Oscars viewing party is neither the time nor the place. This party requires desserts with a bit more panache.

There is a time and place for a pint of ice cream and a spoon. Or for a pile of cookies or box of doughnuts. An Oscars viewing party is neither the time nor the place. This party requires desserts with a bit more panache.

Which is why we created these simple lemon curd cups, an elegant dessert solution to the finer finger food fixings you’ll be serving while watching the stars shine on. You start by making a simple lemon curd, which can be prepped up to a couple days ahead. Then just fill purchased mini phyllo cups with raspberry jam and the curd and top each with fresh berries. Done.

The phyllo cups can be found in the grocer’s freezer section. And while you’re at it, buy a few extra boxes and whip up a batch of mini quiches to serve at the same party.
