- Spoon the mixture into greased mini muffin tins.

- Bake the macaroon tart shells at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. (Be careful not to over bake them.)
- Let them cool for a couple of minutes on a wire rack.
- Gently run a knife around the edges to loosen the tart shells from the pan and then remove them from the muffin tins.

- Beat them on high using a hand-held mixer or a KitchenAid mixer with the whisk attachment until the cream transforms into fluffy peaks.
