Cream cheese pastry filled with fresh strawberries and a strawberry gelatin glaze for adorable mini tarts.
Ingredients:
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups butter
  • 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O® mix
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 drops red food coloring
  • 3.5 cups boiling water
  • 0.25 cup cornstarch
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 3 pounds fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1.5 cups whipped cream, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease your mini muffin pans.
  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in flour, one cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Roll dough into 70 small balls and press each into a mini muffin pan to form pastry crusts.
  • Bake the crusts in a preheated oven until they turn a beautiful golden brown, for about 15 to 18 minutes. Once done, take them out of the oven and let them cool down.
  • In a pot of boiling water, combine gelatin, sugar, and food coloring. Increase heat to high and bring back to a boil. Mix cornstarch and water to form a paste, then stir into the boiling gelatin until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Evenly divide the cooled gelatin mixture among the tart shells. Gently press a half strawberry into each tart. Add a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping before serving, if desired.
