These beautiful mince tarts are light and super tasty, and also vegan! A real treat indeed especially when served with your fave custard or ice-cream (of which vegan versions are easy to find now too).


Ingredients


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C fan forced or 180°C conventional oven.
  2. Use a pastry brush and lightly cover the inside of the muffin tin with Nuttelex.
  3. Combine small diced pears, rehydrated cranberries & orange zest in a bowl and give it a good mix.
  4. Place 1 sheet of filo pastry on the bench. Brush with melted Nuttelex, repeat this with 2 more sheets then cut it lengthways in 3 equal strips.
  5. Next, lightly spread fruit mince with the pear mixture over the pastry and then top with toasted almonds (refer to photos for guide).
  6. Fold pastry side over then lightly butter with Nuttelex again. Now, gently roll up pastry together then place in muffin tin. Lightly brush tops with more melted Nuttelex and scatter tops with a few more almond flakes. Repeat until you have 9 rolled-up tarts ready to bake.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and bases are crispy. Remove from muffin pan, let cool then dust with icing sugar. Serve with your fave ice-cream or custard.
