Ingredients

  • 12 shells mini tart shells
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 1 whole kiwi
  • ½ whole mango
  • 1 whole orange

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Spoon or pipe the whipped cream into the 12 mini tart shells, filling each about three-quarters full.

  3. 3

    Peel and slice 1 kiwi into thin rounds, then cut each round in half. Peel 0.5 mango and slice into thin strips. Peel 1 orange and separate into segments, removing any seeds.

  4. 4

    Arrange the kiwi, mango, and orange segments on top of the cream in a decorative pattern, then scatter 0.5 cup blueberries over the fruit.

  5. 5

    Chill the tartlets for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the cream set. Serve cold.
