About Fruit tartlets

Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.

Stephanie Jaworski’s selected fruit tartlets fill miniature shortbread shells with lemon-seasoned cheesecake cream and fresh berries. She attributes the recipe to a Best of Bridge cookbook and describes it as a family favourite.

Full-fat cream cheese is beaten smooth with sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice and zest, and vanilla. This filling is covered and refrigerated until firm.

Unsalted butter and icing sugar are beaten with a separate vanilla portion. Flour, cornstarch and salt form the shortbread dough, which is portioned into balls and pressed into miniature muffin cups.

The lined pan chills in the freezer before baking. The shells bake until their edges are golden, then cool completely before being removed from the pan.

The cream filling is spooned into the cooled shells. Fresh berries are added just before serving, giving each small tart a fruity finish over its lemon-and-cream-cheese centre.
