Instructions
 

Pastry Shells

  • Preheat oven to 350. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fully combined. Add lemon juice, milk, egg, and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Sprinkle the clean countertop with flour. Scoop balls of dough, about 2.5 teaspoons and roll lightly the flour. Spray a measuring cup with cooking spray and press the ball flat, until it is thin and about 3 inches in diameter. Lay the dough over an upside mini muffin pan, and press lightly to conform to the cut.
  • Bake shells until edges are very barely golden brown, about 12 minutes. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to fill and serve.

White Chocolate Cream Filling

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip 3/4 cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar, until stiff peaks form. Place into a bowl.
  • In the stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth but still cool. Mix in the remaining 3/4 c cream and 3/4 c milk until fully blended and smooth.
  • Gradually add the pudding mix, mixing slowly at first. Increase speed and beat until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to fill shells.

Raspberry Topping

  • Stir together boiling water, jello, and apple juice concentrate until jello is fully dissolved. Stir in 5 cups raspberries until raspberries are thawed. Refrigerate until soft set.

To assemble tarts

  • Spoon white chocolate cream mixture into shells. Top with raspberry topping. Serve immediately.
