Mini walnut tarts / 3 ingredient crust 🫶🏼

Zia Josie’s mini walnut tarts 🫶🏼3 ingredient crust-

Crust ingredients

3 cups of flour (360 grams)
2 sticks of unsalted room temperature cubed butter (227 grams)
1 block of room temperature cubed cream cheese (250 grams)

Directions
Add all ingredients to a food processor and mix until well blended (dough will form up along the sides)

take the dough and work it with your hands just enough to form one large piece to then wrap up in plastic wrap and in the fridge it goes for one hour until you are ready to fill the tart trays.

Once an hour has passed you will shape the tarts by using a tsp of dough to shape inside the mini tart trays -
This recipe makes anywhere between 48-56 tarts depending on your tray sizes
Once that is done- leave your trays on the counter and preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare to make the filling!

Filling ingredients
4 room temperature eggs
2 cups of crushed walnuts (you can also use pecans)
1 cup of brown sugar (or golden yellow sugar)
1 tbsp of vanilla extract

Directions
Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined.

Using two spoons- fill each tart 3/4th of the way- not to worry! There is no baking soda/ powder in this dough so your tarts will not rise!

Once your tarts are filled up, put them in the oven at 350 degrees and bake for 30-35 mins (pls check on them half way and throughout, as everyone’s oven temperature may vary! We are looking for a light- mid golden brown)

Once baked- let fully cool before removing from tray- (no greasing of tray is needed as crust contains butter already)

Dust with powdered sugar if desired or leave as is! and enjoy a delicious treat 🫶🏼
