strawberry honey custard tarts

These delightful strawberry honey custard tarts offer a perfect balance of creamy sweetness and fresh fruit. The honey-infused custard beautifully complements the tart strawberries in a flaky pastry shell.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crust, thawed
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unfold pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out circles from the dough.
  3. Press each circle into a mini muffin tin.
  4. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and honey. Heat over medium heat until simmering, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and salt.
  6. Slowly drizzle the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  7. Stir in vanilla extract.
  8. Pour custard into the prepared tart shells, filling almost to the top.
  9. Arrange sliced strawberries on top of the custard in each tart.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown.
  11. Let cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter in the pastry crust.
