AMAZING! What a delicious, simple idea! This is so quick and easy to make, and it tastes like 5 star gourmet.

Loved it! This was SO easy, and SO good. I couldn't find the tart shells, and used mini graham-cracker pie crusts instead. I think I might actually prefer it that way, and the graham-cracker crust is sturdy enough to stand up to refrigeration, so I was able to make mine a few hours ahead of time. I will absolutely be making this again. I served it with limoncello, and the combination was a hit!

Delicious but hard to make ahead of time since the pasty shell goes limp when refrigerated. any ideas?
