Mini Fruit Tarts

This weekend I attended a 'High Noon' Tea. It was a function put on through church that my fantastic roomie was in charge of. She had mentioned to me that she didn't think she was going to do a dessert, and me, being me thought that would never do. So what goes better with our British tea, than fruit tarts.

Can you spot the 'hidden Mickey'.... Hello. My name is Tiffany, and I am a Disneyland addict.

I found this recipe on the Kraft website.
Super easy.
Super quick.
Super tasty.


Ingredients:

18 frozen mini tart shells
1 pkg. (4 serving size) Jell-O vanilla pudding mix
1 C. cold skim milk
3/4 C. thawed Cool Whip Light Whipped Topping
Fresh fruit

Directions:

1. Bake the tart shells according to the package and then allow to cool.
2. Beat the pudding and milk with a whisk (or an electric mixer) for 2 minutes or until combined and slightly thickened. 
3. Stir in Cool Whip.
4. Fill the tart shells (I piped mine in, just because I thought it would look nicer than being spooned in)
5. Top with fresh fruit.

Seriously so easy.
Plus I made this pretty amazing hat. What is the good in pretending to be British if you can't wear a big hat with a sparkly purple bird on it??

Happy Saint Patricks Day!

It just so happens that my friend Laura celebrates her birthday the same day! So how do we combine the 2 celebrations? Green cake of course!

I used my trusty crusting buttercream icing on the cake and added a little 'Irish Creamer' to stick with the theme. You can't see it in the picture but there were tiny shamrock sprinkles in between the layers as well.

So Happy Saint Patricks Day to all you Irish folks!
And a Happy Birthday to Laura!
