MINI SUGAR COOKIE FRUIT TARTS with VANILLA BEAN CUSTARD FILLING

Mini Sugar Cookie Fruit Tarts

For a special baby or bridal shower, or garden tea, what could be better than these sweet little fruit tarts?  A perfect sugar cookie crust, filled with a silky and creamy vanilla custard filling, topped with your favorite seasonal fresh fruit and delicately glazed.  Pretty, petite and perfect!

​These truly are for a special event.  I don't make them often, but when I do, they disappear IMMEDIATELY!  I love using a selection of seasonal fresh fruit, but you can just as easily choose your favorite fruit or berry - and make them Fresh Raspberry Sugar Cookie Fruit Tarts, or Fresh Blueberry Sugar Cookie Mini Fruit Tarts.  I love that you can customize these just the way you want them, and they are guaranteed to be everyone's favorite bite-size treat at your next event!

I made these for our Royal Wedding Tea Party, and they were a huge hit.  I made the soft and chewy sugar cookie tarts a week earlier and froze them.  The most delicious, silky and creamy, perfectly dreamy Vanilla Bean Custard can be made ahead of time as well, and ready and chilling in the fridge.

​When you're ready to serve these, simply spoon the Vanilla Bean Custard Filling into each Sugar Cookie Tart Shell, decorate with the fresh fruit of your choice, and gently brush a light apricot or orange glaze on top.  A lot of steps, but so simple and so worth it!

​I'm kinda partial to red ripe raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, but the sky is the limit!  What fresh fruit would you choose for these? ​
