Instructions for the pastry

• 1Set aside mini tart trays.
• 2Place flour and salt in a large bowl.
• 3Add butter, and use your fingers to mix together until you have different sized chunks. You should still be able to see butter pieces.
• 4Add milk, then mix until mixture just comes together (don't over mix!)
• 5Bring mixture into a disk, cover and place in the fridge to rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to approximately 180 degrees Celsius.
• 6Once rested, divide pastry evenly into prepared tart cases (you should be able to make approximately 18 mini tarts, depending on the size of your tins or tray) and press down.
• 7Pierce each tart with a fork, then place in the oven to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until cases start to brown. 
• 8Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.

Ingredients for the cherry filling

• 9Place water, rind, juice and sugar into a saucepan and cook over a medium heat.
• 10Continue to cook, stirring until mixture is well combined and starts to bubble.
• 11Add cherries and lower heat. Leave to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is 90% dissolved.
• 12Evenly divide into prepared tart cases and place in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour. 

Ingredients for the buttercream filling

• 13Place all ingredients into a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a bowl if you're using a handheld mixer. 
• 14Beat until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
• 15Pipe mixture into tarts, to cover the cherry filling. The mixture should come right to the top of the cases, and should be completely smooth. 
• 16Place tarts back into the fridge and leave to set for a further hours. 

Ingredients for the chocolate glaze 

• 17Mix all ingredients in a small bowl, adding more milk if mixture is too thick to handle. The mixture should be reasonably thick but not too runny (you don't want the mixture running down the sides of the tarts).
• 18Cover tarts with glaze by drizzling or covering completely, add additional toppings or white chocolate, and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
