Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated and moist.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of mini tart pans to form the crust. Make sure it’s even and packed tightly for a sturdy base.
- Refrigerate the tart crusts for 20 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Once the crusts are set, spoon the vanilla custard evenly into each tart shell, smoothing the tops with a spoon or spatula.
- Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern on top of the custard, starting from the outside and working your way in.
- Drizzle each tart with honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Garnish with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves if desired for added flair and freshness.
- Chill the tarts for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Chill the crust: Letting the crusts chill for at least 20 minutes ensures they’ll hold their shape and provide a solid foundation for the custard and peaches.
- Smooth custard: Make sure your custard is smooth and free of lumps. If you’re using store-bought custard, give it a quick whisk to fluff it up before spooning it into the tarts.
- Peach ripeness: For the best flavor, choose ripe but firm peaches. Overripe peaches might become too soft and watery, while underripe peaches won’t have as much sweetness.
