Breakfast Cereal Tarts

So – with all of those guests coming, I thought I’d try out a few new breakfast recipes.  I’m loving this one – I do all of the work ahead of time and the presentation looks fantastic!!

Cereal Tarts

5 cups of corn flakes (or something similar – Wheaties, whatever)

1 cup of nuts (something breakfasty – almonds, pecans etc)

4 TBS melted butter

6TBS maple syrup (use the real thing, please)

16 oz carton of plain yogurt

16 oz carton of vanilla yogurt

2-3 cups of fresh fruit (berries, peaches, plums, whatever)

Preheat the oven to 350. 

Start by making tart shells:

Place the cornflakes and nuts in the bowl of your food processor and process until combined (just a few short pulses)

Pour the cereal and nut mix into a mixing bowl and drizzle with the melted butter.  Mix to form a mix like for a graham cracker crust.   Stir in the maple syrup

Press into tart pan (I loved this in mini tart pans so that everyone had an individual tart)

Bake for 10-20 minutes (depending on which size tart pans you use)

Cool

Now make the filling:

Remove the shells from the tart pans

Mix the yogurts together

Top the tart shell with the yogurt mixture and top with the fruit
