Mini Raspberry Tarts? Yes please! Have you ever had a mini raspberry tart? For some reason, raspberry desserts are hard to come by. Not on my blog! Raspberry desserts in abundance please! These mini raspberry tarts are light, fluffy, delicious, and EASY!
Mini Raspberry Tarts
I’m a sucker for tarts and raspberries. I love the Key Lime and Berry tarts from Kneaders, but honestly, I’ve never had many other kinds. Thus, the mini raspberry tart had to be born. I had been DYING to make one so, of course, I scoured Pinterest to find a recipe. Alas, I came up with nothing substantial, so I was disappointed and on my own. Why are raspberry desserts so hard to come by?
These mini raspberry tarts took a few tries to get just right – I was one of the happy taste testers – and I’m pleased with the end result. It was worth it. Light, fluffy, tart-tastic.
Plus! I was super excited to try out Xylitol Sweetener. What’s that you say? It’s a natural sweetener that is super easy to use and cook with because it’s a 1:1 ratio. Are you ready for this? I’m not.
*40% calorie savings when compared to sugar
*all natural
*no aftertaste
Studies show that consuming products rich in xylitol, like XyloBurst products, may reduce the occurrence of tooth decay and improve oral health as well – So its great for your kiddos too! Are you sold yet? It’s awesome. On a total side note, they have a ton of other rad products too – I’m a huge fan of the gum and mints. Perfect for an after dinner sweet!

This tart looks absolutely delicious! Yum!
I saw a tart at One Sweet Slice the other day… would you believe that i have NEVER tried one?? Maybe I’ll give in and finally make yours. It looks so yummy!
NEVER?! Oh my dear friend – you truly are missing out. Please let me know when you remedy this situation!! I can’t wait to hear all about it!
I too am a HUGE fan of the gum and mints! I recently (the beginning of this year) started phazing out white refined sugar. I use stevia but I really want to try Xylitol – so I’m really excited about this giveaway! I wish I loved raspberries.. but sadly I don’t – so I will have to try this with a different berry. I’m still pinning because either way it looks beautiful AND delicious!
Yvonne, are you more of a strawberry person? What would you prefer? Blackberries could be delish too…
Yes! I’m a strawberry girl 🙂 I have a thing with raspberry seeds that I just can’t get past.. so blackberries are out too 🙁 I’ll try it with strawberries!
