Can I make this mini tarts recipe ahead of time?

Yes, these mini tarts are ideal for making ahead of time! You can prepare the tart shells and filling separately a day before. Store the baked and cooled tart shells in an airtight container at room temperature and the filling in the refrigerator.

When you’re ready to serve, just assemble by filling the tart shells with the filling and topping with your favorite fruits. This way, you can enjoy fresh, delicious tartlets without any last-minute hassle. It’s a perfect solution for parties, brunches or any get-together.

How to store mini tarts

Storing these mini tarts correctly is crucial to maintain their taste and freshness. Before serving, if you’ve made your tarts in advance, keep them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. Chilling them helps the crust to firm up and the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste.

After serving, if you have leftovers, they can again be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a freezer-safe container. To serve from frozen, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and enjoy the next day. This way, you can always have a tasty and wholesome treat ready at your convenience!
