Who wants to be a tart?

I do not want to be a tart but I do not mind tarting up.
Hehe.
I love tart things and I definitely do like tarts as well!
Tried a little mix and match tarting for my sister's farewell to her colleagues gift.
Whipped up a batch of fruit tart bases, lemon curd and some chocolate filling and Voila!







The ones with the chocolate base is made using the original recipe, just cute-sized:)
Did some meringues too but they did not turn out too pretty so no pictures! (they are all gone anyway so...)
The Bf is getting all 3 by the way.

P.S What kind of tarts do you like?

Hey sweetz, been a long while since I dropped by; love the lil plates! I must say that my favourite tart has got to be luscious and sweet peach tart on a smooth custard creme patissiere. yuMMy!

But your photos have now made me crave for chocolate tarts :P

These look and sound delicious. Do you put lemon curd in the same tartlets as the chocolate filling? That sounds like it would be yummy :) I don't think I've actually ever made tarts, other than a big puff pastry dessert I made once that had fresh strawberries and a strawberry glaze. I'd like to learn how, though.

@Lynn i am sure your grandma probably left a fabulous tart recipe. hmm. i didnt put lemon curd in the choc tart because i was not sure if my sister's colleague would like it but it does sound very delightful! maybe i will try it someday. and strawberry tarts are awesome- simplicity at its best:)
