Pine nuts are an underated ingredient! These tarts really highlight them and taste fantastic! If you don't want to buy mascarpone (it's pretty pricey here), then try cream cheese. Enjoy! Ingredients:

2/3 cup brown sugar |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 pinch salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2/3 cup pine nuts |
corn syrup, for drizzling (optional) |
fresh fruit, if desired (to garnish) (optional) |
3/4 cup mascarpone |
1/4 cup ricotta cheese |
3 tablespoons sour cream or 3 tablespoons vanilla yogurt |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (icing sugar) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
