HOW TO MAKE BLACKBERRY BRIE TARTS

This recipe is super easy to make!  To save time, make the pie crust and refrigerate, up to 1 week prior to making the tarts.

1. In a large bowl or food processor add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix or pulse the dry ingredients until well combined.
2. Next, add the butter. If using a bowl, take a fork or your fingers and cut the butter into the flour mixture until it begins to crumble. When using the food processor, pulse for around 8 seconds, or until the pastry begins to crumble.
3. Add the sour cream.
4. Stir and or pulse until a ball of dough forms. Then cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a mini muffin pan and set it aside.
6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator.
7. On a flat surface add a bit more gluten-free flour, to prevent sticking, and roll out the pie crust, about 1/4 – inch thick.
8. Using a 1 – inch circular cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 24 circles.
9. Place the circles over the top of the muffin pan slots, and gently push the dough into the tin.
10. Remove the rind from the brie, and cut the brie into 24 small pieces.
11. Place a chunk of brie inside each pie crust cup.
12. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
13. Remove the pan from the oven, and allow the tarts to cool for 5 minutes.
14. Once the tarts have cooled, finish them with a teaspoon of jam, then garnish with a fresh blackberry.
15. Serve.

PIE CRUST VARIATIONS

You can substitute the gluten-free crust for puff pastry or mini filo dough shells. Cut the pastry into small squares, and place it into mini muffin cups. Then, follow the rest of the recipe.

JAM FLAVOR OPTIONS

There is a lot of variety when it comes to flavor options. 

• Cranberry

CAN I MAKE THESE TARTS IN ADVANCE?

Yes! Prepare and bake the bites, but add the jam and fresh berries just before serving them. Reheat the in the oven at 300 degrees until warm, do not over bake. Or leave them at room temperature for no longer than an hour before guests arrive, then finish with the topping. Tarts are served best warm.
