Mini White Chocolate Peppermint Tarts | So Cute!

Aren’t these Mini White Chocolate Peppermint Tarts so cute?! The phyllo shells are flakey and light while the white chocolate peppermint filling is creamy and the whipped cream tops it all off to add even more light sweetness. These are perfect for Christmas or just for the holiday season in general. Can you imagine serving these at a Christmas party? They’re so yummy but even better, they are so easy to make. So let’s get into it!

Main Ingredients Needed

Here are all of the ingredients you’re going to need to make these mini tarts!

• Phyllo Shells – these can be found in the frozen section of your local grocery store. I used the brand named Athen’s.
• White Chocolate – this starts out the creamy filling. You can absolutely use another type of chocolate here if you want (did someone say dark chocolate?).
• Cream Cheese – just a little bit to add creaminess and a bit of tang.
• Peppermint Extract – half of this is used in the filling and half is used in the whipped cream!
• Heavy Whipping Cream – this starts the whipped cream! For all questions pertaining to homemade whipped cream <– see here!
• Vanilla – this flavors the cream.
• Powdered Sugar – this adds sweetness without weighing the whipped topping down.
• Candy Canes – these are crushed and used as a garnish!

How to Make Mini White Chocolate Peppermint Tarts

For full details on how to make Mini White Chocolate Peppermint Tarts, see the recipe card down below 🙂

1. Prep

Arrange 24 mini phyllo tarts on a serving platter and set them aside.

2. Make Filling + Chill

In a large bowl, gently melt white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds. Stir in softened cream cheese and ½ teaspoon peppermint extract until smooth. Using a teaspoon, fill each tart to be level with the top of the tart. Refrigerate.

3. Make Whipped Cream

For the cream- whip heavy cream together with the remaining ½ teaspoon peppermint extract, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Place into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe rosettes onto each tart. Sprinkle with crushed candy cane pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Storing These Tarts

These White Chocolate Peppermint Tarts will last in the fridge, covered, for about 4 days! Be sure to make the whipped cream fresh though.
