Mini Fruit Tarts

Print Recipe

Mini fruit tarts are delightful bite-sized desserts featuring a crisp buttery tart shell, creamy custard or cream cheese filling, and topped with fresh seasonal fruits for a colorful and refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2–3 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 1/2 cups pastry cream or cream cheese filling
  • 2 cups assorted fresh fruits (strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add egg yolk and ice water, mixing until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough and cut into circles to fit mini tart pans or muffin tins.
  4. Press dough into pans, prick bottoms with a fork, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  5. Fill tart shells with pastry cream or cream cheese filling.
  6. Arrange assorted fruits decoratively on top.
  7. Heat apricot jam with water until smooth, then brush over fruits to glaze.
  8. Chill tarts until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can prepare the tart shells in advance and store them in an airtight container.
  • Use any seasonal fruits for variety.
  • The glaze helps keep fruits fresh and adds shine.
  • For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of pastry cream.
