Once thawed, use your fingers to pinch the border where the bottom meets the sides, gently turning and pressing to make the shell flat and smooth. Be careful to avoid cracking the edges. Cover the tart shells with parchment paper to prevent sticking and gently press down on the edges and center bulge using your fingers.
