Ingredients

For the Tart Shells:

Quantity	Ingredients
1 cup	All-purpose flour
1/2 cup	Butter, cold and diced
1/4 tsp	Salt
2-3 tbsp	Ice water

For the Filling:

Quantity	Ingredients
1 cup	Sweet corn, fresh or frozen
1 cup	Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese Block, grated
1/2 cup	Britannia The Laughing Cow Cream Cheese
½ tsp	Black pepper
½ tsp	Red chilli flakes (optional)
¼ cup	Spring onions, chopped

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold diced butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, grated Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese Block, Britannia The Laughing Cow Cream Cheese, black pepper, red chilli flakes (if using), chopped spring onions, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles and place them into a greased muffin tray, pressing them gently to form tart shells.
Spoon the cheese and corn filling into each tart shell, filling them generously.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tart shells are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the tarts to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tray. Serve warm, garnished with extra spring onions if desired.
