Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Tartlet Shells
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust or homemade tart dough
For the Cream Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Fruit Topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Piping bag (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. Unroll the pie crust. Use a round cookie cutter or glass that is slightly larger than the opening of your mini muffin tin to cut out circles. Press each circle into the cups of the mini muffin tin, forming tartlet shells.
  3. Prick the bottom of each tartlet shell with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely in the tin before removing.
  4. While the shells are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined and creamy.
  5. Once the tartlet shells are completely cool, spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling into each shell.
  6. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top of the cream filling. You can create a pattern or mix the fruits as desired.
  7. Chill the tartlets for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

Notes

For a festive touch, you can add a small dollop of whipped cream on top of the fruit. These tartlets are best served the same day they are made.
