Tarts

" OOOOO, Fancy!" were the words out of Bridger's mouth when he saw these babies lined up in the Refrigerator. My girlfriend decided that I should give catering desserts a try. So I thought I would just that for my friend's birthday party. Since they are close friends I experimented a little bit. I wanted to find out what was the best crust for my mini tarts. I tried sugar cookie, sugared pie crust, and puff pastry dough. The results, to my complete surprise, was that we liked the pie crust the best. Cookie was ok but I thought it'd be better with an apple filling, and puff pastry didn't get to puff enough to reach its potential in that form so we all thought they were best in their fully puffy state as tartlets. - I loved those :O) I made lemon cream filling (vanilla pudding, lemon curd, and whipped cream) and creamy chocolate filling ( chocolate fudge, vanilla pudding, and chocolate mouse) for my experimental mini tarts. Oh, the fancy goodness!
