Mini Berry Tarts
Prep Time35 Minutes
Servings24
Cook Time10 Minutes
Calories1
Ingredients
1 pkg Brookshire’s Rolled Pie Crusts (2 sheets)
1 (8 oz) pkg Brookshire’s Strawberry Cream Cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 small lemon, juice and zest
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups mixed berries (sliced if large)
powdered sugar, for garnish
fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Spray the bottom of a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. On a lightly floured work surface, unroll the pie crusts. Gently roll out any cracks or tears. Using a 2 1/2-inch to 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles. Turn the mini muffin pan upside-down. Gently drape the dough circles over the bottoms of the muffin cups, pressing lightly to shape. Prick the dough several times with a fork.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden-brown. Let the tart shells cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully lift them from the muffin pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To prepare the filling, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest with an electric mixer until smooth. In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the filling into the cooled tart shells. Top with berries. Dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
