With Mother’s Day just around the corner, these adorable Apricot and Ricotta Shortbread Tarts are the perfect addition to your Mother’s Day luncheon.
Delicious Walkers Shortbread are the perfect canvas for these tarts. Topped with sweet ricotta cheese, apricot preserves, almonds and drizzled with honey. So easy, and so good! You can use your favorite jam, however I think apricot is the perfect compliment on these.
I always have a box or two of yummy Walkers Shortbread on hand. They are delicious with a cup of tea or to simply serve alone on a platter. My kids love the Animal Shape Shortbread. Walkers is known for the finest shortbread and family owned since 1898. You can taste the quality in each buttery bite.
What I love about these little shortbread tarts is how easy they are. Desserts don’t always need to need to be fussy or complicated. These are simple and delicious. Perfect for a spring brunch, a picnic in the park or just because they are so good!
