Ingredients

• 6 pieces Pre-made tart shells
• 3 pieces Ripe peaches
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Vanilla custard (prepared or store-bought)
• 2 tablespoons Almond slices
• 6 pieces Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if your pre-made tart shells require baking. Follow the instructions on the package to bake them to a golden-brown finish. Allow them to cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water to create a simple syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 4

Add the peach slices to the saucepan and cook for 3-5 minutes until they soften slightly but still hold their shape. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the vanilla custard into the baked tart shells, spreading it to cover the base.

Step 6

Arrange the cooked peach slices and fresh raspberries on top of the custard in an aesthetically pleasing pattern.

Step 7

Sprinkle almond slices over the tarts for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish each tart with a small mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Peach Melba Tarts!
