Instructions

  1. Keep the tarts frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat. For best quality, consume within 7 days.
  2. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight (about 8 hours) or at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving.
  3. Serve cold, at room temperature or warm in the microwave: Remove and discard any plastic wrapping. Microwave the thawed tart for 30-45 seconds until warmed through. Do not overheat.
  4. Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Recipe Tips

For a quicker thaw, let the tart sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

Do not microwave if still frozen; thaw first to avoid uneven heating.

These tarts are delicious on their own, but a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream takes them over the top.
