For a richer flavor, use a good quality, artisanal lemon curd. If you don't have mason jars, any small glass bowls or ramekins will work beautifully. Feel free to substitute other berries, such as blueberries or strawberries, for the raspberries. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
