Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2.  Whisk together the flour, sugar, xanthan gum, salt, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl until well blended.

3. In a small bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of the water into the coconut oil. Then, drizzle the liquid mixture into the flour mixture, stirring with a fork the whole time to evenly distribute it.

4. Sprinkle in more of the remaining water a tablespoon at a time, continuing to stir, stopping when the dough is sticky enough to shape into a ball. Divide the dough into two equal portions, and flatten each of them into a thick disk.

5.  Dust a sheet of waxed paper with more of the flour, and place one of the dough disks on top. Then sprinkle more flour atop the dough. Cover the dough with another sheet of waxed paper. Roll out the dough between the sheets until it is about 3/8 inch thick, dusting it with more flour during the process if needed to keep it from sticking to the paper.

6.  Use the round cookie cutter to cut out 5 or 6 pastry circles. Gently fit the pastry circles into the bottoms of the cups of an un-greased muffin pan, using a spatula to lift them from the waxed paper. Cut out an equal number of pastry hearts from the dough scraps, and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.

7.  Bake the hearts and the tart shells in the heated oven just until they begin to brown slightly, about 6–8 minutes for the hearts and 12–14 minutes for the tarts. Allow the baked pastries to cool slightly in the pans before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

8. Whisk the strawberry fruit spread in a small bowl until it is light and easy to spoon. Fill each tart shell with fruit spread topped with a baked heart. Enjoy!  

Enjoy these delicious treats with your Queen of Hearts.

About Jennifer Retzlaff

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life. I live in Iowa with my husband and two kids who are growing up too quickly for my liking. I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which is also where you can follow me on instagram for trip reviews along with tips and tricks for your next magical vacation.
