Ingredients
  

1 package of pre-made mini phyllo pastry cups (15 cups)

2 medium ripe peaches, pitted and diced

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup almond flour

¼ cup cream cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

¼ cup slivered almonds, toasted (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated in the mixture. Allow the mixture to sit and marinate for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

    Make the Almond Cream: In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, cream cheese (or dairy-free cream cheese), and powdered sugar. Mix well using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. Set the almond cream mixture aside.

      Assemble the Tarts: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the mini phyllo pastry cups on a baking sheet. Use a teaspoon to fill the bottom of each pastry cup with the prepared almond cream, aiming for an even layer.

        Add the Peaches: Carefully spoon a generous amount of the marinated peach mixture on top of the almond cream in each cup, filling them close to the brim.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo cups turn golden brown and crisp.

            Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Before serving, sprinkle the tops with toasted slivered almonds and add a few fresh mint leaves for a splash of color and flavor.

              Serve: Enjoy these delightful Mini Peach Tarts warm or at room temperature, perfect for any gathering or a sweet indulgence at home!
