Mini Peach and Cream Cheese Tarts

Print Recipe

Delightful mini tarts filled with sweet peaches and creamy cheese, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

  • Homemade Puff Pastry
  • Freshly Sliced Peaches
  • Cream Cheese Slices
  • Cinnamon
  • Lemon Juice
  • Honey

Instructions

  1. Make the Puff Pastry: If making homemade puff pastry, start the day before to allow for chilling. Combine flour, salt, and cold butter in a bowl, breaking it into small pieces until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until it forms a dough. Fold and roll it out multiple times (about 6-8 folds). After shaping it into a rectangle, cover in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  2. Preheat the Oven: When you’re ready to assemble your tarts, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, gently roll out your puff pastry until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into small squares (about 4×4 inches).
  4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend your cream cheese with honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon juice until it’s smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the Tarts: Place your pastry squares onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, top each with freshly sliced peaches.
  6. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the tarts cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For extra sweetness, drizzle with honey before serving.
