A tart is a type of sweet dessert with a pastry crust.

When we talk about tarts, we often think of them as individual servings of sweet goodness. You might order a strawberry tart at a bakery or find one on the menu at a fancy restaurant. Some people make their own tarts at home using pre-made pastry dough and fresh fruit or chocolate filling. Tarts can be small and bite-sized, perfect for parties or special occasions. They're also often used as a showy dessert to impress guests. If you've ever had a slice of lemon tart or an apple tart from a café, you know what I'm talking about!
