Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Press a small amount of dough into each muffin liner to form mini tart shells.
Bake the tart shells for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
For the filling, mix cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spoon a small amount into each tart shell.
Top with fresh berries, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of lemon zest for variety. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Chef's Tips
- Variety: Experiment with different fillings like caramel, fruit preserves, or Nutella for a fun twist.
- Presentation: Use a piping bag to neatly fill the tart shells for a professional look.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
- Quick Fix: Use pre-made mini tart shells if you're short on time.
