Custard Tarts

SO SIMPLE, BUT TRULY AMAZING. THESE TARTS CAN BE MADE VERY SMALL AND STILL SATISFY BECAUSE OF THEIR RICHNESS.

12 frozen 3-inch tart shells
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1 t vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake shells for 8 minutes.

Mix all ingredients and add to cooked tart shells. Cook filled tarts for 20 minutes. The filling will be set on the sides but loose in the middle.

Place tarts in the fridge for 1 hour to a day.

Topping ideas:
Any favourite will do, but we used thinly sliced apples coated lightly in sugar and cinnamon. We topped each tart and then broiled them until the apples were soft and golden.
