Elegant Mini Berry Tarts

Aren’t these adorable?

A two bite morsel that will delight even the toughest of judges (my kids).

Enjoy them for a fancy tea time, dessert, brunch, or even as a snack during a movie.

We had these while watching Hereditary, a very scary movie. My brother in law Johnny ate them like popcorn.

But honestly, I don’t need an excuse or occasion to eat Mini Berry Tarts. They are so good!

From the crumbly buttery homemade crust, to the creamy Vanilla Pastry Cream, to the beautiful glazed berries on top.

Not a fan of berries or they are not in season?

No problem! Use peaches, kiwis, grapes, mangoes, mandarins, etc.

Just avoid tougher fruit like apples, since their textures can be a bit harsh with the rest of the elements.

I love combining different fruit in these little tarts. They look so beautiful!

Ever since my husband started taking an interest in baking, it’s been giving me an excuse to go back to the basics and enjoy the recipes that I used to make all the time in my teens and twenties.

One day we made our lovely Vanilla Pastry Cream (creme pat). The next day we made our crust and topped it with fruit and instantly we were in love.

If you want, you can make them in any size you may like. The only thing that will vary is the baking time.

Decorations on the other hand, are entirely up to you.

My husband preferred to cover the whole surface with fruit as you’ve seen throughout this post. But you can also choose to expose more of the pastry cream:

This delicious Vanilla Pastry Cream or Creme Patisserie recipe is creamy, easy to prepare, and is the perfect filling for donuts, cakes, pastries, and more.

Both look really nice and appetizing.
