Tips:

- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin instead. Just fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- To make the tarts ahead of time, bake them and let them cool completely. Then, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
- These tarts can also be frozen. To freeze them, bake them and let them cool completely. Then, wrap each tart individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, let them thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
