Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Fruit

  • 2–3 ripe, juicy fresh peaches
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (for tossing peaches)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crust

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets or mini tart shells (about 12 mini tarts)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Roll out puff pastry sheets or place pre-made tart shells on a baking sheet. Trim to fit mini tart pans if needed. Brush the edges with egg wash to ensure a golden, crisp finish.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare the peaches: Peel peaches if desired, then slice thinly. Toss the slices lightly with lemon juice and sugar to keep fresh and enhance flavor.
  4. Assemble the tarts: Spoon a dollop of cream cheese filling into each tart shell, spreading evenly. Arrange peach slices on top in an appealing layered pattern.
  5. Bake the tarts: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Watch closely to prevent over-browning.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow tarts to cool slightly before serving so the filling sets and flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture.
  • Keep puff pastry chilled before baking for flakier crust.
  • Do not overfill tart shells to prevent spills.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending.
  • Arrange peach slices neatly for attractive presentation.
