Mini Tart Shells Recipe

all purpose flour (430 grams)

salt

sugar

vanilla bean paste

unsalted butter,

Sift flour(3 cups/430 grams) and salt(1 /8tsp). Set aside.

In the mixer fitted with a petal attachment beat unsalted, room temperature butter (2 sticks, 226 grams) and powdered sugar (1 cup and 1/4 cup) until smooth. In a small dish whisk together egg yolks (3 egg yolks) and vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract (2 tsp). Gradually beat egg yolk mixture into the creamed butter. Scrape the bowl few times as needed.

On the low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture. Mix until it starts to come together. If the dough is too crumbly, add 1tsp milk. Do not overwork the dough. Invert the dough onto a clean work surface or into a large bowl and gather dough together with your hands into a ball. Then form the dough into a disk, wrap it in the foil and chill for 1 to 2 hours

TART SHELLS COOKIE DOUGH

Preheat oven to 350F.

Place mini tart shell molds onto a baking sheet. Spray with a no-stick spray, set aside.

Take out the chilled dough, cut it in half.  Let if soften for 5 minutes. Roll it out between 2 sheets of parchment or use Dough EZ Mat.  Roll it out using 1/8 inch rolling guides.

Cut out as many rounds as you can. Gather scraps and re-roll. Shape the tarts as shown in the picture tutorial/video. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the shells. Bake at 350F for 12-14 minutes until golden around the edges.TIP: My mini tart molds are about 3 inches across at the opening. And so I used 3.5 inch cutter to cut out my rounds.

Let cool for 10-15 minutes before removing tarts from the molds. Turn the mold upside down and tap it firmly onto your work surface to release the shell.

Let the tarts cool before adding a filling.

SHAPE AND BAKE MINI TART SHELLS

Easy and simplest way on how to make tart shells. They&#039;re flaky and buttery, suitable for both sweet and savoury tarts. It&#039;s my go-to recipe and I&#039;ve been using it for all my tarts. Do try!

How To Make Tart Shells

unsalted butter ((75 g), softened)

tbsp sugar

egg yolk (, room temperature)

tsp vanilla extract

all purpose flour ((130 g))

tsp sugar

tsp salt

Dough

Add butter and sugar into a bowl. Using a spatula, mix everything together. Now add in egg yolk and vanilla extract. Continue mixing. Finally add in flour and bring everything together into a dough.

Chill

Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until it&#039;s manageable.

Assemble

Take a piece of dough and press it evenly into a 2.5 inch (6.5 cm) tart mould. Cut off excess dough with a knife. Using a fork, prick the base so that it doesn&#039;t puff up while baking. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough. Place them on a baking tray. Place them in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 340ºF (170ºC) , using upper and lower heat, on the lowest rack for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely. Once cooled, remove the shells from the moulds by flipping them and tapping a bit on the back of the back of the base to help releasing them. They&#039;re ready to be used!

Savoury

Instead of 2 tbsp sugar, add 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp salt together with butter. Follow the same steps onwards for the rest of the recipe.

Switch Them To Savoury Tarts

Tart Shells

These healthier mini fruit tarts are evergreen, they&#39;re delicious regardless what season you&#39;re in. Flaky buttery spelt shells with healthier pastry cream, topped with fruits of your choosing. Yum!

Healthier Mini Fruit Tarts

spelt tart shells recipe (, click here)

healthier pastry cream recipe (, click here)

tbsp honey ((20 g))

water

Prepare the shells and pastry cream up to 1 day ahead. Keep the shells in an air tight container at room temperature, the pastry cream chill in the fridge.

Mix in a bowl, set aside. If your honey is very liquid, then omit the water. We just want a consistency that can be applied easily.

Honey Glaze

Assemble just when you&#39;re about to serve. Whisk the pastry cream using a handheld whisk until it becomes smooth and silky again. Put inside a piping bag and pipe into the shells.

Place fruits on top. Brush some honey glaze on the fruits to make them look shiny and beautiful (optional). Serve and enjoy!

Assembling

Wow thanks so much for an easy fruit tart recipe using healthier alternatives! This was my first time making a tart and your video was really well made, and instructions were easy to follow. Tasted awesome too. However, next time I’ll definitely need to double up the recipe! 
Also for anyone wondering, I didn’t have a crust mould so I actually just put cupcake paper moulds into a muffin tray and used that, worked fine, obviously didn’t come out as pretty as the recipe’s but ima call it rustic :-) Also! These are actually for a dinner gathering tomorrow so I’m making ahead, I lined the tart crust with melted Lindt choc
