Honey Walnut Tartlets
Buttery mini tart shells filled with a rich honey caramel mixture and toasted walnuts, baked until golden and perfectly set. These little tartlets are crisp on the outside, sticky and nutty inside, and ideal for holidays, tea time, or an elegant homemade dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for dough)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a mini tart pan or muffin tin.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Divide the dough evenly and press into each cavity, forming tart shells along the bottom and sides.
- Assemble the Dish: In a saucepan over low heat, combine honey, heavy cream, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened. Fold in toasted walnuts. Spoon filling evenly into each shell, leaving a little space at the top.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the filling is gently bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve at room temperature and enjoy the crisp pastry and sticky honey walnut center.
Notes
- Lightly toast the walnuts for 5 minutes before adding for deeper flavor.
- Allow tartlets to cool completely so the filling sets properly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
