Making individual meringue jam-filled tartlets is a wonderful addition to your dessert table. It’s hard to put into words how tasty these sweet, crunchy, and creamy these individual desserts are, but I can tell you that they have a melt-in-your mouth texture.
When prepping for a large event, what do you plan out for the dessert table? These jam tartlets are always on my list. The baskets can be made beforehand and stored until you make the meringue and fill the jam!
The jam in these tasty tartlets can be any kind that you like! I like to make mine with apricot, peach, or berry jam. If I’m making a big batch, I’ll do a portion with each kind, so that way my guests can pick their favorite.
All you need to make these tarts are simple pantry-staple ingredients, then the filling with just three ingredients.
What do I need to make the baskets?
- egg yolks
- egg
- flour
- sugar
- unsalted butter
- baking powder
What do I need to make the filling?
- fruit jam (any you like)
- egg whites
- sugar
Steps
In a medium size bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1 large egg, and 1 cup of sugar.
Add 1 cup of melted unsalted butter and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
Stir in 3 cups of flour. Leave in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Press dough into tartlet molds.
Place forms on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until they start getting a light brown color.
Flip the molds over, they will come out smoothly.
Place on a baking sheet, fill each one with 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
In an electrical mixer, beat 5 egg whites with 2 cups of sugar, until it’s not runny, 3 minutes.
Put meringue mix in a pastry bag with a pip tip. Decorate each jam filled tartlet.
Place in the oven at 350F for 5 minutes.
Enjoy!
