Hi, I was wondering, can these cute tartlets be filled ahead of time? Like 24hrs? or will the wonton get soaking?
Shinee says
Hi, Elvira. Wonton cups will get soggy if you leave them for 24 hours. It’s best to fill before serving.
Jo says
The marscapone cheese was directly out of the fridge when I used it; though it was in there a few days since I bought it, so the next time I try it again, I’ll be sure to use fresh marscapone to see how it’ll turn out. I’ll let you know the results I try it again. Thanks!
Shinee says
Ok, that makes sense. So next time, make sure to bring the mascarpone cheese to room temperature. That should do the trick. 😉
Keely says
Mine curdled too. Everything was at room temperature.Â
Shinee says
Hmm, that’s interesting, Keely. I’m clueless what could cause this issue. I never had this issue before. I have access to only one brand of mascarpone cheese, and I can’t test it with different brand.
Jo says
Looks beautiful! I did try it though and had the same problem as Denise. My marscarpone cheese was curd-like so I mixed it a bit to make it creamier before mixing everything else in together. It had a beautiful consistency until I added the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. It became too liquid-y and I was unable to pipe them into the wonton wrappers. Did I over-mix you think? I’ll try it without too much of the condensed milk next time, but I’m afraid it’ll affect the sweetness. What do you think went wrong?
Shinee says
Hi, Jo! Sorry to hear that you had a problem too. Quick question. Was the mascarpone cheese at room temperature before you added condensed milk? That would be my best guess of what might have gone wrong. When the ingredients are not at the same temperature, the mixture tends to curdle. Hope this helps. Let me know if you try again.
Denise says
I attempted these twice and both times the mascarpone had a curd like consistency. Â The flavor was there but it was quite grainy like rice pudding. Did this happen to you? I followed instructions completely and I am not sure what I’m doing incorrectly. Please help.Â
Shinee says
Hi, Denise! Hmm, that’s weird. Any chance the mixture being over-beaten? Maybe next time try hand mixing? Or maybe try another brand of mascarpone cheese? I never had curdled look, so I have no clue what might be an issue.

These are gorgeous, Shinee! I love the bite-size factor of it, and i love that you included mascarpone – yummy!! <3

Love mascarpone! Thanks, Beeta!
Sara says
I have not used this cheese before. Is it easy to find? Can I use a regular mixer to blend the cheese with the other ingredients? If I can make this work, I’ll be using them at a school fundraiser on Saturday. Thank you!
Shinee says
Hi, Sara! Mascarpone cheese is pretty common, I usually buy mine at Walmart. And yes, you can definitely use regular (electric handheld) mixer. Have fun at the fundraiser! 🙂
Carolyn B says
Hi- Was looking forward to these! Â I’m making the filling the night before. Â My filling is fairly liquid – does not come out like the picture? Â I’m confident I measured correctly. Â Will is firm up after refrigeration? Â Any suggestions?
Shinee says
Hmm, that’s interesting. I wonder why it would be liquid, there is really no ingredient to make the filling liquid. Was your mascarpone cheese thick?
