YIELD: 3 dozen.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • FILLING:
  • 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry spreadable fruit
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Dash salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
  • Fresh raspberries, optional

Instructions

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, extract and salt. Gradually beat in flour.
  • 2. Shape dough into 3/4-in. balls; place in greased mini-muffin cups. Press evenly onto bottoms and up sides of cups. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Cool in pans on wire racks.
  • 3. Spread 1/4 teaspoon spreadable fruit onto the bottom of each crust. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Whisk in the whipping cream, half-and-half and extract just until blended (mixture will be thin). Spoon 2 teaspoons filling into each crust. Bake 12-14 minutes or until filling just begins to bubble.
  • 4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans; cool completely on wire racks. If desired, top with raspberries. Refrigerate leftovers.
