Flaky pastry, creamy filling, sweet fresh fruit…this is my kind of dessert. Even more so because it’s so easy! I’ll let you in on the secret: Take a little help from the freezer case and use puff pastry for the tart shells. Then fill them with whatever fruit looks good (and is priced well) at your store.
Sarah’s Tip of the Day:
The puff pastry looks so impressive but could not be simpler to work with — cut it into squares, brush the edges with a little egg, sprinkle with sugar, and bake. Fill the shells with whipped cream and fresh fruit doused with citrus juice or mild vinegar and some sugar. That’s it! Sound too good to be true? Watch the video and see for yourself!
