Individual Almond-cream Tarts

 Categories: Desserts 
      Yield: 20 servings 
  
  2 1/2 c  Flour,all-purpose 
    2/3 c  Butter or margarine,cold 
    1/2 c  Water,cold 
      2    Eggs,separated 
      2 pk Vanilla pudding(3 3/8oz) 
  2 1/2 c  Milk 
      1 c  Whipping cream 
      1 ts Almond extract 
      1 cn Mandarin-orange sect.(11oz) 
      1    Kiwifruit,medium 
      5    Strawberries,large 
    1/4 lb Grapes,green,seedless 
      1    Chocolate square,unsweetened 
  5 1/2 oz Apple jelly 
      1 ts Water 
  
  1. Whip cream. Drain mandarin-orange sections. Peel and slice kiwifruit. 
  Coarsely grate chocolate square. Prepare tart shells; Into medium-sized 
  bowl, measure flour and butter or margarine. With fingertips, blend flour 
  and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In cup, beat cold water 
  with egg yolks. Add yolk mixture to flour mixture, stirring to mix well. 
  Shape pastry into a ball. 
  2. Preheat oven to 400'F. On well-floured surface, with floured rolling 
  pin, roll pastry 1/8"-thick. With floured 4 1/4" round cookie cutter, cut 
  out 20 pastry circles, rerolling trimmings if necessary. Gently press each 
  circle onto bottom and up side of fluted tart pan (or use twenty-four 2 
  1/2" muffin-pan cups, and cut circles with a 3 1/2" round cookie cutter). 
  With fork, prick pastry in many places. Arrange tart pans in 2 jelly-roll 
  pans for easy handling. Bake 20-25 minutes until pastry is lightly 
  browned. 
  3. In cup, beat egg whites until frothy. Quickly brush hot tart shells with 
  beaten egg whites. Cool tart shells in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. With 
  knife, gently loosen tart shells from sides of pans; remove from pans; cool 
  completely on wire racks, about 20 mintes. 
  4. When tarts shells are cool, prepare cream filling. Prepare 2 packages of 
  instant pudding mix as label directs, but prepare both packages together 
  and use only a total of only 2 1/2 cups milk. With rubber spatula, fold 
  whipped cream and almond extract into pudding. 
  5. Spoon filling into tart shells. Decorate some filled tart shells with 
  mandarin-orange sections, some with kiwifruit, some with strawberries, some 
  with grapes, and some with chocolate. 
  6. Prepare glaze: In small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat apple jelly 
  with water, stirring often, until jelly melts and mixture is smooth; brush 
  over fruit. Let glaze dry, about 10 minutes. Cover tarts and refrigerate.
