Préparation
 

Preparation

Making the Tart Shells
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar, mixing well.
  3. Add the softened butter to the flour mixture, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Cut the dough into small circles to fit into mini tart pans.
  6. Press the cut dough into the mini tart pans, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for about 10–12 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Allow the tart shells to cool completely on a wire rack.
Assembly
  1. Once cooled, fill each tart shell with pastry cream using a spoon or piping bag.
  2. Top each tart with assorted fresh fruits, arranging them for an eye-catching presentation.

Notes et conservation

Store the tarts in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Avoid filling tarts until just before serving to prevent sogginess.
