These are super easy mini dessert cups filled with melt in mouth whipping cream and covered by delightful toppings. They are so quick and easy to make that they can be safely opted for the last moment dessert option anytime. Plus, they are so presentable that kids will love it and adults will relish it; they can be a clear winner for any party.

These mini tarts are superbly versatile as they can use any filling from cream cheese or custard filling to any mouse or ganache. Also, the topping options are endless; from fresh fruits or dried fruits to cookies or jellies.

For the crust, I have used phyllo pastry cups. These are store bought, pre baked mini crust available at the frozen section of any grocery store. You can also make them at home following the recipe of tart crust (which can be either pie crust or pastry crust).

So let’s get going and treat our family and friends with these super delicious and superbly gorgeous mini tarts.

What you need:

• 1 pack phyllo pastry cups (also called mini phyllo shells)

• 4 tbsp whipping cream 1/4 cup

• 1 tbsp sugar

• Vanilla essence

• Toppings of your choice- Jelly, sprinkles, chocolate shavings, Cookies, pretzels

Instructions:

• Take the frozen phyllo cups out of the packet to defrost a few minutes before you need them (don’t leave them in the packaging as you don’t want them to potentially soak up any ice that may be in there and go soggy) and bake them at 350 F for around 10 to 12 mins.

• Blend together the whipping cream, sugar, vanilla essence until smooth peaks are formed and well combined. Get your toppings ready. You can do all of this ahead of time.

• Fill the baked phyllo cups with the whipped cream – you can spoon or pipe it.

• Top it with the toppings of your choice. Refrigerate until ready to serve, but try not to make them more than 1 – 2 hours ahead as the pastry will soften

Note: Tart cups are best when used on the day of assembling.
