Fancy Fruit Tarts

Fancy Fruit Tarts

This recipe is SOOOO easy and delicious, not to mention they look so pretty!  I made these for a holiday party and these were a huge crowd pleaser.

Ingredients:
1 package refrigerator pie crust dough (or you can use phyllo dough).
Hardening Shell chocolate ice cream topping
Fresh fruit of your choice (I used apples, pears, kiwi and bananas for this batch)

(If using Piecrust)
Unfold one piecrust and place on a floured surface or on wax paper.
Make sure both sides of pie crust are lightly covered in flower
Gently roll over pie crust with a rolling pin.

Using a round cookie cutter, or other fun shape that is mostly round, cut out pieces of piecrust.  Place each cut-out in a muffin pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Prick bottoms of each piecrust with fork, place pan in fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Remove muffin pan from fridge and bake in for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove and cool for 5 min.

(If using phyllo dough)
Roll out layers of phyllo and place on a floured surface.
Using a round cookie cutter cut out pieces of phyllo.  Place each cut-out in a muffin pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
place pan in fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
Follow cooking directions on package of phyllo.  (you can also do these in MINI muffin tins like I did with this batch and they work well).
Remove and cool for 5 min.

Filling:
Remove shells from pan and place on a serving plate.  Spread bottom of each shell with chocolate topping and arrange fruits of your choice on the top.  Drizzle more chocolate over the tops and put in the fridge to chill until ready to serve.
