Easy Ways to Serve Christmas Tarts
A few familiar ingredients can give your tarts a fresh new look. Choose one topping for a relaxed gathering, or mix and match the ideas below across your dessert table.
Add Blueberries and Cream
Bring a pop of colour to your Lemon Tart with fresh blueberries and a spring of mint for a pop of colour. The fresh blueberries pair nicely with the bright lemon flavour. Add the blueberries just before serving, and for an extra touch, spoon or pipe some whipped cream alongside. It’s a lovely way to finish a Christmas BBQ without making dessert feel too heavy.
Serve with a Scoop of Ice Cream
On a warm Christmas Day, serve your Lemon Tarts and Fruit Mince Tarts with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Keep the tarts together on a platter, then add the ice cream to each plate as dessert is served and add some fresh summer cherries for an extra garnish. Cool, creamy, and familiar, this pairing suits backyard BBQs, casual lunches and family celebrations.
A Dusting of Icing Sugar
Short on prep time? Arrange the Christmas tarts on your favourite serving plate and sift over a light dusting of icing sugar just before guests arrive. It gives the tarts a polished, festive look while keeping the flavours everyone already knows and loves.
Add Warm Custard
Warm custard is a classic partner for Fruit Mince Tarts. Pour it into a small jug so everyone can help themselves, or place each tart in a bowl and spoon the custard around it. This comforting combination is made for family gatherings, especially when the evening calls for a warm dessert.
Top with Blowtorched Meringue
For a little theatre at the table, top your Lemon Tarts with meringue and lightly blowtorch the peaks until golden. Arrange the finished tarts together on a platter to show off the toasted tops. It’s a clever way to create a meringue tart for a special occasion without starting dessert from scratch.
