tartlet
Small filled shell
A tartlet is a small tart—a miniature pastry shell with a filling, typically sweet.
Tartlets are individual-sized, meant to be eaten in a few bites: The bakery sells fruit tartlets with custard.
They appear at parties and in patisseries, filled with everything from lemon curd to chocolate ganache.
