Notes
- Yields: This recipe makes 24 mini tarts. I usually serve 4 per person as a "finger dessert", which makes it ideal for 6 servings. You can, however, multiply the recipe if you are serving a larger crowd.
- Storage: Since it is so easy to put together, I highly recommend serving this recipe on the day that it is made. However, if you have leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
