I started this recipe with some left-over homemade pie dough from another recipe we were making on freezer cooking day; Hamburger Pie, once I had the left over pie dough I knew these would be perfect for making some mini-tart cups, next I just needed to create the filling. The filling is a pretty common filling half yogurt and half cool whip.
They are light and A-MAZ-ING!
Mini-Tart Yogurt Cups
50/50 Vanilla Yogurt and Cool Whip
Food Coloring
Shredded Coconut
Jelly Beans
6 to 6 Mini-Tart Cups (see recipe below for crust)
Mix together 50/50 vanilla yogurt and cool whip. Add a spoonful of yogurt mixture into each mini-tart cup. Top with shredded coconut and add three jelly beans to the top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Easy Homemade Pie Crust
from my Mother-in-Law Charlotte
2 cups flour
1 cup Butter Flavor Shortening
1/2 cup COLD water
pinch of salt
Mix flour, shortening and salt with a pastry knife (or a fork if you don't have one). Once it's all mixed together then add COLD water and continue mixing. Cut into half and roll out one at a time onto a flour surface. Roll until you get your desired thickness, then use a round cookie cutter, with a scallop edge if you wish. Place each round into a sprayed muffin tin and bake for about 12 to 16 minutes. Cool completely before adding the above toppings.
