Ingredients
  

For the Tartlet Shells
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the Cream Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
For the Topping
  • 2 cups mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each mini muffin cup to form tartlet shells.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely in the tin before removing.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the cream filling into the cooled tartlet shells.
  8. Top each tartlet with fresh mixed berries.
  9. Chill the tartlets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a festive Fourth of July look, arrange the berries in stripes of red and blue. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the berries.
