Mini Berry Tarts
These Mini Berry Tarts are a delicious dessert to serve at brunches, parties, or just on a Sunday afternoon. They taste amazing thanks to the use of mascarpone and lots of fresh fruit.
This recipe uses homemade shortbread crusts, but if you want to save time, you can also use pre-made gluten-free pastry crusts. These Mini Berry Tarts can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving, but when filled the shells will soften a bit, so it’s best to serve them just after you fill them.

Servings: 9 Tarts
Calories: 364kcal
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 cup (120 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (130 g) cold unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
- ⅓ cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 1 pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 cup (120 g) almond flour
- 1 large egg
For the filling:
- ⅔ cup (160 g) mascarpone cheese
- ⅓ cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
For topping:
- 4 ounces strawberries or raspberries
- 4 ounces blueberries
Instructions
- Sift the all-purpose flour onto a pastry board. Cube the butter and add it to the flour along with the powdered sugar and salt. Chop all the ingredients with a knife. Add almond flour and egg, and mix to combine into a smooth dough. If it is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of milk. Form into a smooth ball, wrap in plastic, and place in the fridge for about an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 390°F and grease small cupcake molds. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and place the dough on it. Roll out the dough to a thickness of ½ inch. Cut out circles slightly larger than the diameter of the prepared molds. Transfer the circles into the molds and use a fork to poke holes in the bottom. Bake for about 12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by whipping the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla. Place the filling in the baked tarts and top with berries. Serve right away.
