Description
Mini Fruit Tarts are delightful bite-sized desserts filled with a creamy mixture and topped with fresh fruits, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and raspberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin tin to form tart shells. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Once the tart shells are cool, fill each shell with the cream cheese mixture.
- Top each tart with a variety of fresh fruit. Arrange the fruit in a decorative pattern for an appealing presentation.
- Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Experiment with different fruits based on the season or your personal preference, such as peaches or mangoes for a tropical twist.
