Tips, Tricks, and Shortcuts
- Make the Mini-Muffin Tartlet Shells ahead of time and freeze them to make assembling the tartlets a breeze.
- Banana Curd can also be made days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Tartlet assembly will be snap!
- Freeze your over-ripe bananas whenever you have them and you won’t have to wait for ripening bananas to make Bananas and Cream Mini-Tartlets! Just grab the bananas straight from the freezer and microwave them for a few seconds to thaw.
- Made from scratch Mini-Muffin Tartlet Shells are always a win for flavor and freshness. However, store-bought tartlet shells can work in a pinch. You’ll still have a lovely tartlet with incredible Banana Curd and homemade whipped cream!
- Get creative with garnishes! Dried banana slices, fresh banana slices (soaked in lemon, orange or pineapple juice to stave off browning), and/or a sprinkling of cinnamon really set off Bananas and Cream Mini-Tartlets!
