Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Ice water
• 0.25 cup Almond butter
• 0.25 cup Peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Cashew butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 Eggs (large)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Pecans (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 4

Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 12 circles (about 4 inches in diameter) and press each circle into the muffin cups, making sure to press gently along the sides.

Step 7

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond butter, peanut butter, and cashew butter until smooth.

Step 8

Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to the nut butter mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 9

Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared tart shells, filling each one about three-quarters full.

Step 10

If desired, top each tart with a pecan for garnish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tart shells are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the tarts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your Three Nut Butter Tarts!
