Simple ingredients:<\/strong> The recipe only calls for a handful of basic ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen, making it an easy dessert to whip up at a moment’s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy to make:<\/strong> The instructions are straightforward and easy to follow, so even inexperienced bakers can make these tarts with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versatile:<\/strong> While the recipe calls for raspberries, you can easily swap them out for other types of fruit, such as blueberries, blackberries or strawberries, depending on your personal preference.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For a recent baby shower, I was hankering to bake something pretty and petite that would pair well with fresh raspberries. I was envisioning a crispy, sweet little tart shell filled with vanilla custard and topped with whipped cream and raspberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I couldn’t find a recipe with that particular combination, I improvised. I modified my favorite sugar cookie pie crust to make the little shells, and reduced the quantities on my cream filling and topping recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I topped each tiny tart with an organic raspberry. The tarts were enthusiastically received, so now I can safely share the recipe with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can prepare the tart shells and custard the day before, and then all you have to do is whip the cream (up to two hours before serving) and assemble the tarts (up to an hour before serving). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These little tarts are perfect for Mother’s Day brunch, a ladies’ tea, a patriotic charcuterie board<\/a>, or a sweet ending to a springtime dinner. They’re also great paired with Fruit Skewers<\/a>, Mini Banana Parfaits<\/a> or Mini Flourless Chocolate Cakes<\/a>.

All purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Salt<\/strong> – table salt or sea salt will dissolve best in this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh mint sprigs<\/strong> – Optional, for garnish. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
