Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Follow the package instructions to bake the tarts from frozen.
Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Press the "lid" down into the puff pastry tart or remove all together. If you remove the tart shell, there is more room for a filling, but either way, it's delicious.
Fill the interior of the tart with either lemon curd or ganache (or Nutella), or make a combination of both. I like to add the filling to a resealable baggie and pipe it into the tart to keep it tidy.
Place coconut flakes in a small bowl, add a couple of drops of green food dye, and stir until even in color. Place small rings of coconut around the outside edges of the tart and place "easter eggs" in the middle.

Filling Amounts: I add just a heaping 2 tablespoons of filling per tart, more if you remove the tart lid instead of pressing it into the bottom of the tart. For 8 tarts, you will need a little more than 1 cup of filling.
Ready-Made Fillings: If you're looking for a super quick solution, store-bought lemon curd and Nutella are great options. If you have more time, both homemade lemon curd and chocolate ganache are simple and delicious!
