So last week I went a little crazy with the blueberries on sale. I got WAY TOO MANY!! I made blueberry scones and blueberry jam last week but I still had about 4 pounds left. I had to come up with something to make before they went bad!
I popped into Williams Sonoma yesterday and saw a tartlette pan set and thought it would be a neat thing to try out. I could use it to make stuff for tea parties, appetizers for a dinner party or for little treats.
Making tart shell dough is pretty labor intensive so instead I used cut-out cookie dough :) this won't work for savory tartlettes but perfect for sweet ones like the blueberry ones I made.
What you need:
- 1 recipe for cut-out cookie dough
- 1 recipe for pastry filling (I used a cream cheese pastry cream)
- fresh fruit (blueberries here)
Roll out your cookie dough and cut out the tart shape. Place the cut dough on the tart pan and press it into the pan using the mold. Bake according to cookie recipe instructions.
To make the filling: mix 8oz of cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar and 1tsp of vanilla. Pipe into the tart shells and top with fresh fruit.
And there you have it! Simple and beautiful little fruit tarts. These would be perfect for a tea party :) or just about any party.
