Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Press a wonton wrapper into each cup of a muffin tin, pleating gently to fit. Bake shells 5 minutes until light gold.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs, condensed milk, cream, and vanilla until smooth and pale, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Remove muffin tin from oven. Carefully pour custard into each shell until three-quarters full.

  4. Step 4

    Bake tarts 8–10 minutes until custard is set at edges but still trembles slightly in the center.

  5. Step 5

    Mix cinnamon and sugar, then dust over warm tarts while they rest in the pan for 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Tip tarts out of the tin onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tools you’ll need

  • standard muffin tin (12-cup)
