Summer Mini Fruit Tarts Dessert!!!!

This is a wonderful little fresh dessert to make for family, friends, or just for you! Lots of scrumptious goodies and so easy. 

Here’s what you need.

Super simple! 

1. First, preheat the oven to 355 F (180 C).

2. Using your electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy.

3. Add the egg and mix to combine.

4. Then add about 2/3 of the flour and continue mixing.

5. Finally, add the rest of the flour and working with your hands, form a nice smooth dough ball.

6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into about 1/10-inch (2 mm) thickness. 

7. Using a cutter or a glass with a diameter of 3 inches (7.5 cm) or slightly more, cut out circles.

 

Just like this.

8. Grease and lightly flour the back side of a mini muffin pan.  Yes, we are working with a flipped mini muffin pan here. Fun, huh? 

9. Cover every other mini muffin cup with a cut out circle  and then crimp the edges.

10. Bake at 355 F (180 C) for about 15-20 minutes or until beautifully golden. 

11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. 

12. Then fill your shells with sweetened whipped cream and lots and lots of fresh fruit. You can use a little vanilla custard too, I like to spray whipped cream on the top for a delightful dessert! Enjoy!! 

These lovely tarts taste best when refrigerated.

How to Save Your Berries From Fuzzy Mold???

Thank you Chatty Crone

I love berries doesn't most people? But when you buy them their shelf life is almost gone the next day, all depending on when the store got them. :( Berries are so delicious, but they're very delicate. And Raspberries especially  seem to mold before you even get them home from the market!  

There's nothing more tragic than paying $4+ for a pint of local raspberries, only to look in the fridge the next day and find that fuzzy mold growing on their insides. Well, we can tell you how to keep them fresh! 

Here is a tip I am sharing on how to prevent 

them from getting moldy:

Just wash them with vinegar


Simple huh???
When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl them around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit, and voila! 


Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft. So go forth and stock up on those pricey little gems, knowing they'll stay fresh as long as it takes you to eat them!
