For a simpler and convenient recipe, I decided to shape the tarts in my muffin tray and it worked like wonders.

Therefore, after assembling, these easy mini raspberry tarts looked beautiful and attractive. I also served them to my guests in one of the get togethers and they loved this gorgeous dessert.

What is a tart?

A tart is basically a dish baked in a pastry shell. Its like a small pie but with a thicker crust. A tart does not have the top crust and is usually filled with cooked fruits or fruit cream, cheesecake filling or mousse. I made my own version of healthy tarts for these mini raspberry tarts. Mini tarts are also referred as tartlets.

Ingredients

Ingredients notes

Oat flour – I love baking with oat flour. Its a healthy grain with lot of health benefits.

Almond flour – this adds healthy fats and a mild sweetness to the tarts. Almond flour also gives them a nice soft texture.

Oat milk – any dairy free milk works in this recipe. However, I used oat milk in making these raspberry tarts to compliment with the oat flour.

Maple syrup – its a healthier sweetener as compared to the processed white sugar. It also gives a nice caramelized flavor to these raspberry tartlets.

Cashew nuts – These are the best nuts for the cream filling because of its easy blending texture a versatile taste.

Raspberries – I used frozen raspberries for the cream filling and fresh raspberries for the topping. It worked great and its important to use the combination of frozen and fresh raspberries in these tartlets.

How to make

Crust

Firstly, in a mixing bowl, I combined oat flour, whole wheat flour and salt and mixed it well.

Secondly, I stirred in oat milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract to the flour mixture.

Next, I kneaded it into a soft dough and covered it with a sling wrapper. Then, I refrigerated it for only 10 minutes.

Thereafter, I took it out of the refrigerator and then divided the dough into 10 equal parts.

Afterwards, I shaped each part into the muffin tray which I prepared with liners.

Then, I baked them at 350 degree Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Once done, I turned off the oven and took the muffin tray out. Then, I placed it on a flat counter and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Gradually, I pulled out all the tarts and removed the muffin liner from each of them. Then, I place the tart shells on flat counter or a wooden board.

Filling

In this step, in a blender, I combined cashew nuts, frozen raspberries, maple syrup, oat milk and vanilla extract. Then, I blended it until smooth and creamy and kept it aside.

Assembly

With the help of a spoon, I poured the cream equally into each tart shell.

Lastly, I placed fresh raspberries on each of them.

These mini raspberry tarts looked stunning and my kids loved them for their dessert.

Serving tips

These raspberry cream tarts can be served just by themselves. However, you may top them with as many fresh raspberries as you desire for extra flavors. You may also sprinkle some powdered sugar on them if desired.

Expert tips

• While kneading the dough make sure they bind well and is a smooth dough. Refrigerate as suggested and do not over do it.
• Most importantly, soak the cashew nuts in warm water until they are so soft that they can be easily broken or smashed with fingers.
