Idiot Tarts Part 2



Fantastic fruit art by Suzanna Rogers. Once again, people were mind boggled that something so tasty only takes 20 mins!
Use seasonal fruit for sure. All but the raspberries were disappointing, but so pretty. I am very interesting in figuring out a way to use real whipped cream instead of tub whipped cream frosting. No ideas yet, but am would love any suggestions.

Idiot Tarts




Idiot Tarts
Not good with crusts, not good. Let’s not discuss the pumpkin pie crust of last Thanksgiving, which left one chewing for hours. A good crust takes timing and delicacy and I have only a bit of each. The more you work with it, the tougher it is and I have problems with situations that don’t allow me to make any mistakes. So chewy…

So what can I make for my sister’s barbecue in fifteen minutes, that is crustless of course

Idiot Cakes Take:
1 Tube Slice and Bake Sugar Cookies
1 Tub Whipped Cream Frosting
Fresh Fruit

To be completely honest, I burned the first batch of cookies. But the second were great! Just wait for the cookies to cool. Then frost the cooled cookies and top with fresh cut fruit. Anything would good as long as it is fresh. The (pictured) deli bought strawberries were superb-o.
Good combos: blueberry & strawberry, strawberry & kiwi, banana & coconut, pineapple & strawberry, cantaloupe & blackberry

Just think of all the frosting flavor/fruit combo possibilities…fresh whipped cream, maybe?
