Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Tart Shells
  • 1 sheet Puff pastry, thawed Store-bought or homemade
For the Cream Filling
  • 1 cup Heavy cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Mixed berries Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup Optional, for glazing

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Rolling Pin
  • Round cookie cutter
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Piping bag with tip (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly. Use a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out 12 circles.
  3. Gently press each puff pastry circle into the cups of the mini muffin tin, forming a tartlet shell. Prick the bottom of each shell a few times with a fork.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Let the tartlet shells cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. While the shells are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Once the tartlet shells are completely cool, spoon or pipe the cream filling into each shell.
  7. Arrange the mixed berries on top of the cream filling. If desired, lightly brush the berries with honey or maple syrup for a glaze.
  8. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

You can customize the fruit topping with any seasonal fruits you prefer. For a red, white, and blue theme, use strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream.
