These tarts are perfect for Valentine's Day. I made mini tarts in heart-shaped tart pans to celebrate the month of love.
This recipe was inspired by my sponge cake recipe, and pairs well with my microwave thick raspberry sauce.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Add the gluten-free cookies and melted butter to a food processor. Pulse until crumbly. Add a pinch of salt.
Take the crumbly mixture and press into the bottom and sides of your tart pan or mini tart pans.
Bake the mixture in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The crust should be golden brown.
In the meantime, wash and dry the fresh raspberries and make the raspberry sauce in a medium glass bowl.
When the tart crusts are cooled, pop them out of the tart pans and fill them with raspberry sauce. Top with fresh raspberries.

Substitutions
- Gluten-free cookies - instead of gluten-free cookies, you can use regular shortbread cookies or graham crackers instead. This will make a shortbread crust.
- Vegan butter - you can use melted vegan butter instead of regular unsalted butter. This change will make a gluten-free vegan fruit tart.
Variations
- Mixed berries - switch out the raspberries for any other type of berry.
- Whipped cream - add whipped cream to the top of the tarts after assembling them.
- Vanilla extract - you can add a dash of vanilla extract to the crust.
- Lemon zest - add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the top of each tart for a fresh flavor.

FAQ
I like to arrange the raspberries on top and start from the center of the tart. Then, I make rings around the center raspberry. The size of the rings depends on the size and shape. The smaller the fruit, the more rings you get. Smaller fruits make it harder to arrange them evenly.
A spring-form pan makes it easy to cut and serve slices of pie instead of trying to slip the server under the edge of the pie plate. Use a knife to cut a wedge into the tart and slide a server under the slices and out. Wipe the blade clean after each cut.
Divided the crust into mini tart cups. Place on a rimmed baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes. Divide filling equally among the number of tart cups. Spread or pipe the filling into each cup. Arranged fruit on top of filling in a single layer. Mini tart pans are great for individual servings.
In this recipe, I used raspberries, but you can totally switch that up. Try other fruit combinations like oranges, peaches, mangoes, pineapples, apples, strawberries, cherries, pomegranates, fresh blueberries, pears, or apricots. Almost any fresh fruit would be delicious in this recipe. Try to use seasonal berries if you can.

This recipe is not dairy-free; however, you can make it dairy-free by swapping regular butter for vegan butter.
