Harfell Mince Pie

The delicious taste of Harfell Fruit inside crispy puff pastry.

A delightful and traditional Christmas treat, these mince pie tarts are filled with sweet and spicy mincemeat encased in buttery shortcrust pastry.

Ingredients: 300g ready-made shortcrust pastry. 200g mincemeat. 1 egg, beaten.

Instructions: Bring the oven up to 200C 180C fan or gas mark 6. Use floured paper to roll out the dough, and then use a pastry cutter to make circles out of it. Put the circles in a muffin tin and press them down to make tart cases. Put some minced meat into each tart case. Use the rest of the dough to make smaller circles or stars that you can put on top of each tart. Use an egg wash to cover the tops. After the oven is hot, bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool a bit before taking it out of the tin. If you want, you can serve it cold or warm and sprinkle with icing sugar.

Ingredients: 1 pint vanilla ice cream. 4 mince pies. Powdered sugar optional, for garnish.

Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream that has been melted on the bottom half of each mince pie. Add the other halves of the mince pies on top to make sandwiches. For decoration, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the sandwiches if you want to. You can serve them right away or wrap each one in parchment paper and freeze them to enjoy later.
