Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to bring these delightful tarts to life:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Steps to Deliciousness
Ready to get started? Let’s dive into the simple steps of making these mouthwatering mini tarts!
1. Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine your graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until everything is well combined. It should resemble damp sand.
2. Form the Tart Shells
Spoon the mixture into a mini tart pan—make sure to press down firmly to create a solid crust. Use your fingers or the back of a tablespoon to really pack it in there. (Channel your inner baking ninja here!)
3. Make the Custard
In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Then fold in the heavy cream until it’s all smooth and creamy. Oh, your kitchen is about to smell divine!
4. Assemble the Tarts
Spoon the custard mixture into each tart shell. These little beauties are now ready for their crown!
5. Top with Peaches
Arrange your peach slices artistically (or not—no one’s judging here) on top of the custard. If you’ve got mint leaves on hand, throw those on as a pop of color and freshness.
6. Chill Out
Pop your tarts in the fridge for at least an hour so they can go from “cute” to “oh wow, look at those.” This chilling time also helps the perfect blend of flavors come together!
Cooking Tips for Your Tarts
- Peachy Keen: If peaches aren’t in season, no worries! You can swap them out for other fruit like berries or even bananas. Your tarts will still be a hit!
- Storage Sensibility: Keep your tarts covered in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 3 days. Just try to hide them from the family if you want leftovers—good luck with that!
- No Pie Pan? No Problem!: If you don’t have a mini tart pan, you can use silicone muffin cups or even a regular muffin pan. Just adjust your baking time for larger sizes.
A personal story: I remember making these tarts for a family picnic last summer. With your typical “I don’t want to bake” mindset, I stumbled upon this recipe. They disappeared within minutes! Turns out, peach custard mini tarts have a magical way of uniting people—while I just stood back, grinning like a proud parent watching their child win a gold medal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the peaches in this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with this dessert. Strawberries, blueberries, or even diced mango work beautifully!
How can I store leftovers?
Store these tarts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just a friendly reminder: they might not last that long!
What can I do if the custard is too runny?
If your custard ends up a little runny, don’t panic! Simply let it set in the fridge a bit longer. If you find it’s still not thickening, consider adding a bit more pudding mix to the next batch.
There you have it! Your Easy No-Bake Peach Custard Mini Tarts are not just a recipe; they’re a summer essential. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a glass of sweet iced tea, and watch as your friends and family revel in peachy bliss.
