Mini Strawberry Tarts

If you’ve never made your mini tarts before, you’ll be amazed at how quick and easy this Mini Strawberry Tart Recipe is. 

Why not create these mini tarts, ahead of time with our delicious Sugar and Crumbs Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar?

Tarts are a baked dish, that consists of a filling over a pastry base, that is typically a shortcrust pastry. The filling can be sweet or savoury, the choice is yours. Above all, they are a dainty and cheeky treat, that looks and tastes amazing with our Strawberry Milkshake flavoured custard filling and fresh fruit.

Once the tart shells are cooled, they will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. They also freeze beautifully.

In addition, you can also try our other Natural Flavoured Icing Sugars! in our range, giving them a delightful twist of flavour.
