Our recipe originally published Jun 25, 2014. It has been updated with new directions and improved photos for your convenience.
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.

Wow that looks absolutely delicious. I know it would be a huge hit!
Tarts are always a great treat. These look nice and mini so great for easy snacking.
Those are so simple, but look so elegant. I would be proud to take these to a 4th of July party this year. Yum!
The little Berry Tartletts look so cute and fresh for a Summer table! I serve a lot of fresh fruit this time of year and would love to have this bowl to solve the problem of letting the fruit wallow in the juices when it’s stored. What a great idea.
Yum! I love tartlet recipes! This one looks lasciviously delicious and super easy to make!
These look amazing like they are straight out of italian deli.
This would be perfect for any gathering! Look delish!
These look so delicious and refreshing. I love recipes that use fresh fruit.
I love this tartlet recipe! I actually just bought a ton of fresh strawberries and blueberries at my local farmers market because they were so fresh and tasty and now I have a fun recipe to use them in (if only I had the bowls hehe ๐ )
Seriously, SO cute! Perfect for the fourth of July! I also want to make these for an upcoming baby shower!
Great photos! They look so divine!
These look delicious and so cute! I bet I can’t eat just one! ๐
I am always throwing out berries that are soggy. I need to get one of these bowls and make the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Man oh man, you really did it! These make me SO hungry! They are absolutely adorable, and they sounds really simple to whip up! So gonna have to make these!!!
I think this looks like an easy and fun recipe and I would use a lot of summer fruits like peaches, berries and plums.
Those are bites of happiness. They’re super pretty and sound amazing!
I can’t wait to try this recipe when I get back home. It looks so good, missy!
What a cool kitchen gadget! Your recipe look super yummy! Love that they are bite sized, great of for little hands or portion control!
These look so good! There’s nothing like fresh berries!
These are both adorable and my favorite dessert in a more appropriate size! I’ll have to make these next week!
These looks like the perfect 4th of July treat! Yum!
Wow, this sounds like a great bowl, with the separate liquid part. I live by myself, so I often have to buy larger quantities of fruit than I can eat before some spoils.
Oh my goodness, those look so mouthwatering… and I love, love, love how they are bite sized… thanks so much for sharing…
Wow, we just all had fruit for dinner tonight, but boy, this site shows me lots of ways to make the fruits even better.
You food always looks so good that I just want to look at it. That fruit is calling to me.
What a yummy recipe. It is perfect for the warm weather months and for serving it at family gatherings.
I like that you used sour cream and condensed milk. It must have a wonderful sweet-sour flavor!
The tartlets look so good & not at all difficult to make! I am saving the recipe & hope to make them for the 4th of July picnic !
I am always throwing fruit away because it expires too quickly. This would be great if it did save fruit longer.
These tartlets look sooo good and I like that they are a combo of sweet and sour. I think I will give these a try for our 4th of July celebration.
Oh yum these sound so delicious <3 what a wonderful recipe x
I am a huge fan of fruit tarts. I would put raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries on mine.
These would be great for a summer party.
That looks yummy. We always keep lots of fruit in the house. So this would be a great dessert
I have never made a tartlet or even tasted one. This looks so good and super easy to make.
Those are so cute and your pictures are beautiful!! I make a fruit tart for our daughters birthday breakfast each year. These would be so fun and adorable to make for guests.
I like to keep cut fruit in the fridge for snacking. This bowl would be ideal for that.
I was just telling my husband that I needed a new recipe for my blueberries. This recipe looks really good!
I’m not much of a tart eater. Not a fan of custard like desserts. But as a recipe goes it looks beautiful, bite sized, simple and few ingredients. I think my family would like it if I made it for a summer function.
I throw way too much fruit! This bowl would be a lifesaver.
I’d love to use this to store my fruits. I just bought a huge thing of strawberries from the farmer’s market and ate maybe 6 of them and threw out everything because I didn’t store it correctly.
I have never tried Tartlets before. They look good though! I love those bowls!
I love the Berry Tartlet Recipe recipe it looks so simple and so tasty.
This bowl looks like a great idea. It really is a pain when fruit looks so good, but goes bad/soggy before we can finish it. I am all about making stuff {especially food} last longer!
Your tartlets look so cute and really yummy. I really want to make these, I know my family will love them!
I’ve always had a thing for fresh fruit (and veggies) so this is a great idea. I’m in!
I love that you can slice the fruit ahead of time and store it and it stays fresh that is a great idea
i would love to make some fruit salad with these bowls they would help me with that a lot i would actuallly use these bowls a lot in the kitchen
The tartletts look delicious. Very cute for 4th of July, my kids would love these, thanks for sharing the recipe.
Those tartlets looks delicious! I think I’d do mine with blueberries and bananas ๐ Thanks for hosting!
The Berry Tartlet recipe looks amazing. I cannot wait to try to make it.
I’d really like this bowl for taking fruit salad to picnics. It will make sure the fruit doesn’t get too juicy.
I love the idea of this bowl.We eat lots of fruit in my house (my 4 kids love it more than cookies).
Great recipe and a really cool bowl
The Berry Tartlets look delicious. I will have to make those sometime.
we eat alot of fruit in my house. this would be nice to have, I have to throw out alot that goes bad fast
These bowls would have been great a few days ago when I was making blackberry pies.
They look delicious! We are huge fruit eaters and I am always looking for creative ways to use fruit. Will have to try this one!
My daughters love to make fresh fruit salads in the summer.This would be a great help for that.
Loved the recipe for the tartlets, didn’t have sour cream so used Greek yogurt. They tasted good buying sour cream tomorrow and making them as in recipe.
Such a great design-keeps fruit from sitting in it own juice.
These look super awesome and yummy. I think I will try o make them this weekend.
I think this is something that I would love to try
These look amazing! I love how refreshing it looks and how perfect it would be for the summertime when fresh fruit is so available. I can’t wait to try this recipe at home!
Looks delicious! The bowls are adorable!
These tartlets look so easy to make, yet they are impressive looking for a non-cook like me!
Tese bowls look great i pack lots of summer friut for day trips and these would be perfect!
They look delicious, but I was wondering what kind of pan you used for the tartlets.
I found these tartlet shells already formed from the freezer section of the store. I still haven’t found a good tartlet pan to make my own. BUT I do know they have them. I’ve seen them online. I saw that Amazon had some. http://amzn.to/VNb3Pj
The tartletslook absolutely delicious and I am always looking for a good set of bowls.
Ive never had a tartlet but it sounds so delicious.
Awesome!
Thanks for the recipe. This would be perfect for weekend brunches!
The recipes sound so good and the bowl is so practicle.
Thanks for the recipe I can’t wait to try it as dessert for a family cookout!
Thanks for the wonderful recipe, I would love to make these for my next family get together.
I love to eat tarts and fresh fruits in the summer…. so yummy.
Love the idea of these small little morsels. They would be great for portiona comtrol, if I could stop at just one of them.

I’d love to try those! They look so freaking delicious! I know that, if I made them, they would -not- look that good!
This looks like a great idea. I’m on a diet (yes, again!) and haveing fresh fruit all prepped sounds like a wonderful idea. I love that it would NOT be sitting in it’s own juices.
I would keep the blueberries on top, for sure. I’d probably add half a dark sweet cherry and delete the strawberry. Sorry, strawberry! Oh, that makes my mouth water!
My husband and I always make fruit smoothies and rinsing it out is pain since I end up smashing those little berries into dust by the time I dry them. The bowl looks like it’ll do well for some vegetables too.
I would top the tartlets with strawberries and bananas.
I love strawberry’s and never thought about making tarts at home until now.
I love that the bowl drains the juices!!! That makes preparation so much faster.
My son will only eat fruit that is crisp and not mushy. I think this bowl would help with that a lot!
berries are my favorite fruits in the summer. i really will try this recipe soon.
I would love to make Ambrosia and other fruit salads using this fruit bowl set.
This berry tartlet recipe looks so yummy and easy to make. Perfect for a hot summer day when you don’t want too much or too heavy of a dessert. I would top mine with raspberries, my favorite berry.
Those tartlets look SO GOOD! They remind me of my favorite dessert, but bite sized!
the berry tart looks so good I’m not much on blueberries but it still looks good my family would probably love this too.
This bowl is such a great idea! I definitely would find a use for it during the summer months when we eat tons of fruit and fruit salads ๐
The berry tartlets look very tasty and easy to make
This berry tarlett recipe looks so amazing! I definitely have to try it this summer. I really love that fruit bowl also, I can think of so many uses! It would be great for using the fruit for salads or smoothies so you can separate the juice and reserve it for another recipe.
A small quick dessert…looks like I should try these.
The recipe looks so delicious and the bowl would come in so handy all summer because I love to eat a lot of fruit salad and fruit ๐
This recipe looks very tasty. Thanks for sharing!
The Good Cook 3-piece Bowl set is perfect for keeping freshly sliced cantaloupe from our garden ready to eat in the fridge !
Those tarts look delicious. I have printed the recipe and hope to try making these soon. Thanks for this contest.
The dessert sounds delicious. I love all the fresh berries that are available for making desserts.
Wow! These look so cute and tasty. I have a lot of BBQ’s and gatherings in the summer and my guests would love these. I can’t wait to make them.
The 3 piece fruit bowl set looks like it is good quality. The berry recipe looks good too.
I am going to make these for a fund raiser next week. I was just wondering if anybody had made these and froze? I have to make alot of these and was hoping I could freeze them ahead of time.
Thank you in advance
I haven’t frozen them, but I do know they stay good in the fridge for a day or two as long as you wait to put on the fruit topping until the day you are using them. ๐
