Mini Fruit Tarts Recipe
These mini fruit tarts have a crumbly, buttery shortcrust pastry base, a smooth and creamy vanilla pastry cream filling, and a topping of colorful fresh fruit. Each tart is beautifully individual and impressive to serve at a gathering. The shortcrust is made with butter, powdered sugar, flour, and egg yolk for a rich, tender shell with a satisfying snap.
