Those mini fresh fruit tartlets have a sweet pastry crust that is filled with a rich hazelnut cream and topped with fresh fruit. Dust the fruit with powdered sugar before serving or glaze with apricot glaze to give the fruit a bright shiny finish.

- Heap the flour on a work surface and make a well. Put in butter, salt, sugar, and egg yolk. Using your fingertips, mix all the ingredients together. Add in cold water and work until the dough begins to hold together. Shape each into a ball and wrap with a plastic film and chill for half an hour.
- Cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer in the bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the ground hazelnut and beat until it forms a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease four 12cm tartlet tins with butter and sprinkle them lightly with flour. Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and divide into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of pastry into a 16cm circle. Line the tins with pastry and prick several times with a fork.
- Divide the hazelnut mixture into 4 pastry cases and smooth the top. Put the tart tins on the hot baking tray and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Lift the tart and base from the tin and leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spread two tablespoons of chantilly cream on top of each tartlet. Arrange the fruit on top. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Beautiful. I crave dessert with fresh fruit now. ;)
GORGEOUS fruit tarts, and your photos are so lovely and vibrant!
They look so elegant :-) Spring is here and it's time to grab some fresh fruits for reasons like this :-)
I can't decide which one I want first :) I guess one of each would be the best! So yummy!
Your tartlets are so cute! I love that you can make several different kinds from the same recipe, fantastic!
Your tartlets are so pretty! I wouldn't be able to decide which one to eat. I'd have to taste them all.
These are precious little tartlets Angie! I can't wait for fresh berries to be in my market! Lovely.
These tarts are gorgeous, you're inspiring me to start thinking about Spring and all the wonderful fruit like strawberries that will be soon be available locally;-)
fruit tartlets looks delicious colourful
can i have the strawberry one please? :)
These little tarts look so yummie and so pretty...love it! Have a great week Angie :-)
All of them look gorgeous and scrumptious!
Congrats on top 9!!!^_^
They are so pretty!! I wish I'm good at baking like you. I've been wanting to buy mini tartlet tints for a while. I guess it's time!
NICE!!!!! im making these! the reason it attracted me is the hazelnut filling. I have been looking for fruit tarts that are not filled with custard or cream. This is the answer that Ive been looking for . Tq Angie. :))) Beautiful tarts! Ill have to come up with more local fruits though. But local fruits arent as pretty, unfortunately, and are always huge. Ill put my thinking/cheffy cap on :)
Wow! Another show stopper recipe Angie!
Oh wow these look almost too good to eat! (Almost.) That hazelnut cream...I can't get it out of my head!
Angie
those tarts look delicious!! The grapes were such a nice idea,I'll have to try that next time I make a fruit tart.
Congrats on your top 9 today!
Dennis

Oh my! those tartlets look gorgeous. Such beautiful presentation as always. Simply wonderful.
Those are absolutely beautiful! The perfect spring dessert!
These fresh fruit tartlets are beautiful. Reminds me of party time. :)
These little tarts look fabulous! Definitely remind me that spring is here!
Gorgeous Angie, as usual. How do you do it? Are your really some entity with a whole team of people working every day on photos, recipes, food shopping, preparation, cooking, cleaning, research, blogging, web design, writing, editing? Or are you for real? I wonder the same thing about Pioneer Woman.
Another question: is the format for your page a product of Foodbuzz? In other words, do you post everything on Foodbuzz and then here? Or is the design something you had created? I'm curious because I love how your page is set up and so user friendly. Just askin,,, Thanks Keri
@Keri
Thanks Keri :-)) for stopping by and taking time to leave me the messages. I enjoy baking and messing around in the kitchen and I do it just for fun. :-))
The blog template I use is from wordpress magazine style, with my own adjustments and lots of hacks I found through google though.
Congrats on Top 9 today. I'm especially fond of the grape one. Love the small size too. Hope you have a great day.

They look great and so colourful with all the fresh fruits. Looking at the pictures is enough to make me drool!
hello, I am Shafriza from Sri lanka... the usual case with me is that I dont get a lot of the expensive ingriedients that are in the recipies... what I would like to know is could I substitute almond meal instead of hazelnut powder?
That hazelnut cream sounds divine. I'm having trouble holding my tongue in.
Angie-These little tartlets are absolutely gorgeous. I need to buy some mini tart pans to make tartlets, but would not be able to step in your "shadow" of the way you make them look so tempting, artistic and divine!
Looks like spring is there, in Germany:DDD
Oh my, these look absolutely beautiful and DELICIOUS! Hazelnut cream sounds divine.
"Oh my goodness" is all that I can say. These tarts look delightful! So lovely alone, the different kinds of fruit send me into an ecstacy of happiness. The hazelnut filling is inspirational. I just adore that flavor. Thanks for sharing these beauties.
Those look amazing! I have certainly been on a tartlet kick and would love to try these filled ones. Yum.
These look awesome Angie! Good job :).
Oh what a visual treat, wish i could eat them just my seeing thro' the screen, beauty :)
@hopefull Yes, Shafriza, almond meal could be used instead.
Lovely tartlets! Congrats on the top nine. This is my kind of dessert!
Cute little tarts. Simply love anything with fresh fruits. Nice pictures too !!
Wow! I'd love to take photos like you when I grow up. And I'd love to make those little tarts, too. They look so good! My parents are coming to visit soon; I'm sure they'd love a little fresh fruit treat like this. Perhaps I should start practicing my tart-making skills now! Thanks for such a beautiful and inspiring post.
Beautiful tarts and lovely pictures. Love that you kept the tops on the strawberries.
