Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Arrange the unbaked tart shells on a large baking sheet and prebake according to package directions or for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven until lightly golden. While the tart shells are baking, prepare the filling.

In a medium-sized saucepan, stir the chopped rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch until the rhubarb is coated. Add in the water and turn the stove on to medium heat. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, bringing it to a simmer, then cook on low for about another 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn off the heat, whisk in the butter, and let stand until ready to fill the tart shells.

When the tart shells are done baking after about 15 minutes in the oven, take them out and distribute the prepared filling evenly between all 15 shells. Place the tarts back in the oven and bake for about 15-20 more minutes or until the tart shells are golden. Let the tarts cool and or serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-Cook Rhubarb Separately 🍳
Cook rhubarb with sugar for 3-4 minutes before adding strawberries to break down its fibers and reduce excess moisture, preventing a soggy tart filling.
Cornstarch Ratio Mastery 🥄
Use 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch per cup of combined fruit to achieve the perfect gel consistency—too little creates runny filling, too much becomes gluey.
Thaw Shells Strategically ❄️
Thaw frozen tart shells at room temperature for just 10 minutes, then brush with melted butter and pre-bake at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to prevent soggy bottoms.
Reserve Fresh Strawberries 🍓
Add half your strawberries raw at the end of cooking to maintain bright color, fresh flavor, and appealing texture contrast with the cooked fruit.
Cool and Set Properly ⏰
Chill filled tarts for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set completely and slice cleanly without leaking.
