Our Mini Fruit Tarts Recipe Is Handheld Happiness — Shortcut Makes It Extra-Easy

A tray of fruit tarts not only brings color to any snack table, it gives each of your guests a handheld treat that is sweet and easy to eat. We at the Woman’s World test kitchen wanted to create a version that is easy on the host, so we made these mini fruit tarts that start with store-bought mini tart shells that are pre-baked and located in the freezer section of your local supermarket. All you have to do is thaw ‘em out, fill ‘em with our homemade pastry cream, and top them with colorful fruit! Talk about simple and sweet. 

Make the prep for these mini fruit tarts even faster by learning how to peel kiwi in seconds. To peel kiwi quickly, trim off both ends of the fruit, leaving behind a cylinder shape. Then slide a spoon between the flesh and the peel and turn the kiwi, pressing the back of the spoon against the peel as you do so. The whole fruit will slide out in one go!
