Notes

These tartlets are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze without toppings for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the fridge. Customize the filling with other fruits like mango or use different nuts for a twist! Kids love helping with these tartlets, especially the crust pressing and topping stages!
