Time 1h46m

Yield 15 to 18 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra, for dusting
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 medium strawberries, chopped into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces to yield 1/2 cup
1/2 cup blackberries or raspberries, halved
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest
Special equipment: a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • For the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the honey and vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the dry ingredients and blend until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a work surface and knead into a dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles of the dough and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough and gently knead together. Roll out until 1/4-inch thick. Cut out additional circles of dough and place on the baking sheet (there should be a total of 15 to 18 circles). Bake until slightly golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
  • For the berries: In a medium bowl toss together the strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes.
  • For the ricotta topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest.
  • To assemble the tartlets: Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ricotta topping in the center of each crust. Using a small spoon, make a shallow well in the ricotta topping and fill with a little of the berry mixture. Arrange on a platter and serve.

MIXED BERRY TARTLETS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Mixed Berry Tartlets Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 15 ounce rolled refrigerated unbaked pie crusts (2)
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 12 ounce frozen mixed berries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup purchased lemon curd
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Mint sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Let pie crusts stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray. For pastry shells, unroll pie crusts. Use a 3-1/2-to 4-inch round cutter to cut 6 rounds from each crust. Press rounds into prepared muffin cups, pleating to fit. For tartlet filling, in a medium bowl combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cornstarch; stir in berries and lemon juice. Spoon berry mixture into pastry shells. Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully remove tartlets from muffin cups; cool completely on wire rack. In a medium mixing bowl combine whipping cream, lemon curd, 1 teaspoon sugar, and vanilla; beat with wire whisk or with electric mixer on medium speed until cream mixture mounds and is fluffy. Spoon on tarts. Garnish each tart with a mint sprig. Makes 12 servings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh berries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overfill the tartlet shells. The berries will expand as they bake, so leave a little room at the top of the shells.
  • Bake the tartlets until the crust is golden brown and the berries are bubbling. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the tartlets cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set.
  • Serve the tartlets with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping.

Conclusion:

Berry tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cream cheese pastry crust and filled with a variety of fresh berries. The tartlets are then baked until the crust is golden brown and the berries are bubbling. Once cooled, they can be served with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious dessert that everyone will love.
