Turn the heat to medium and whisk the mixture constantly while heating.

Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly, then reduce heat and cook for one more minute while still stirring.

Remove from heat and add butter and grated lemon rind, whisking until the butter melts and everything is well combined.

Spoon the lemon curd into a bowl and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight before using.

Prepare a topping by mixing yogurt and grated lemon rind, then gently fold in Cool Whip.

Crisp up filo shells in the oven for a couple of minutes before using them.

Fill the crispy filo shells with the lemon curd using a cookie scoop, filling them up to the top without overflowing.

Top each tart with the yogurt Cool Whip mixture and add grated lemon zest for decoration.
