Orange Amasi Tarts

Orange Amasi Tarts

These are simply scrumptious and unbelievably cost-effective. You’ll be smitten from the first moment you sink your teeth in and taste that slightly salty crust along with the sweet, soft jelly and Amasi filling. Feel free to use lemon jelly powder instead of orange, this will give the tarts a flavour that’s slightly more similar to a cheesecake. We’ve topped the tarts with cream and a touch of lemon zest as this not only looks gorgeous, but rounds off the flavours perfectly. You can even add a cherry to make it look more festive.
