I know it’s a little early to get excited – but it is starting to feel like Spring is amongst us in Melbourne and I wanted to celebrate this much anticipated weather by creating something fruity and colourful. Unfortunately the sunnier season is still a month away, but this lovely creation will make you feel as though a tiny piece of summer has returned.
These gorgeous blueberry tarts are vibrant, easy to make and most importantly – they taste divine. Totally clean and healthy, these treats are great to serve to guests for afternoon tea – enjoy!
