MEDITERRANEAN BITES: Peach And Kiwi Cream Tarts

Peach And Kiwi Cream Tarts

The idea for this recipe I got when I walked past my favorite pastry shop. There I saw beautiful little tarts filled with cream and decorated with sliced pineapple and strawberries. Mini tarts looked so lovely and I wanted to create and bake these beautiful cookies in my kitchen. That’s the beauty of cooking and baking- you can always create and make your own mini tarts with a little creativity. The result was thrilling; pretty and lovely shaped sweet delights to which I added peach, kiwi, and blueberries on top. They look wonderful and taste excellent, also not difficult to make. A nice way to surprise someone with this mini fruit tarts.
