Ingredients
Tart Dough:
-
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed or grated
-
3–4 tablespoons ice water
-
¼ teaspoon white distilled vinegar
-
1 tablespoon heavy cream (for brushing)
-
Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)
Filling:
-
1 fresh peach, half sliced
-
3–4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Honey Drizzle:
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
-
Make the dough: In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water and vinegar, then pulse until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a dough. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or glass (about 3 inches in diameter) and press them gently into a mini muffin tin.
-
Bake the tart shells: Brush the edges of the tart dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
-
Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread a small amount of cream cheese into the cooled tart shells.
-
Assemble the tarts: Place a slice of fresh peach on top of the cream cheese filling.
-
Make the honey drizzle: In a small bowl, combine honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Drizzle this mixture over the top of each tart.
Notes
You can use store-bought tart dough if you’re short on time.
Substitute fresh peaches with other fruits like strawberries or raspberries for a different twist.
The honey drizzle can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
