Summer is officially here. And that means it is time to start indulging in delicious desserts that showcase beautiful fresh fruit! Some of my favorites are red, white, and blue desserts, with a tantalizing sweet yet tart allure and filled with delicious fresh berries!

We are big berry eaters in our family. So I had to give creating a tartlet recipe a try! I’ve never made a tartlet before but always wanted to. So summer time and trying to keep the kids busy is a great excuse to give it a go!

Magic of the Berry Tartlet Recipe

To begin you definitely want to start with quality fruit. Pick out the best produce from your store or if at all possible your local farmers market! Or even better yet, from your own garden! The fresher the better! But also make sure it is ripe!

Give the berries a good washing to ensure there are no chemicals or sprays on them. That’s the last thing you want to be indulging in over the summer; insecticides

Slice the strawberries to down to about the size of the blueberries.

Mix up the tart filling and fill the shells. You can use a spoon or a frosting bag. I used my Wilton Decorator Pro.

With the shells filled, bake at 325 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Once they are completely cooled, you finish by topping them with the fresh strawberries and blueberries.

 

 

Now sit back and watch them easily disappear! They are the perfect bite size for an easy indulgence. Plus you don’t have to worry about dirtying any silverware! They work great as finger desserts! What Mom can’t get behind less dishes to wash?

These tartlets are the perfect blend of tart and sweet! And let me tell you,  your kids, guests, and neighbors will all eat them up! They are also an excellent sweet pastry to take to a summer party, a potluck dinner, or BBQ!

It’s the perfect summer dessert that everyone will love. And they will also probably beg you for the recipe. So make sure you send them to our site to get it!
