Key Ingredients

Gather up a few ingredients and whip up this strawberry tartlet recipe in no time at all. Just give yourself enough time for the creamy strawberry mousse to chill in the fridge for a few hours.
- Oreos - Crushed cookie crumbs and butter make the best crust. It can be used in mini or large tart pans, springform pans, and pie plates. Don't like chocolate? Go ahead and use Golden Oreos instead.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - When beaten with powdered sugar, it creates a light fluffy homemade whipped topping.
- Strawberries - Wash and hull fresh strawberries before pureeing and adding to the filling.
- Plain Gelatin - Used to help set the cream cheese filling and give it a fluffy, firm consistency.
- Cream Cheese - One block of full fat cream cheese creates a cheesecake like filling that is light and fluffy.
- Sugars - You will need powdered sugar to make whipped cream and granulated sugar to sweeten the mousse filling.
How to make Strawberry Tartlets

This recipe for strawberry tartlets is quick and easy to make. Trust me, you'll want to make it for every occasion this summer.
- Bake the Oreo cookie crusts. Crush Oreos (with filling) in a food processor and mix with melted butter. Spoon into 6 mini tart pans with removable bottoms. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool to room temperature.
- Make whipped cream. Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Puree strawberries. Add fresh sliced strawberries to a food processor and pulse until pureed. Stir plain gelatin and boiling water until dissolved. Add to the strawberries and pulse again.
- Make the strawberry mousse. Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add the strawberry mixture and mix again.
- Assemble the tarts. Fold the chilled whipped cream into the filling gently. Spoon into the cooled tartlet shells.
- Chill and serve. Place the tarts in the refrigerator for a few hours, so the filling has time to set and firm up. Remove from the pans and decorate with strawberry roses and mint leaves right before serving.

Storage Recommendations
Keep the mini tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will prevent them from drying out or absorbing any other flavors or odors. Add the toppings just before serving, so they look and taste their best.
When stored properly in the refrigerator, strawberry tartlets can last for up to three days. However, the longer they are stored, the softer the crust may become.
For best results, it's recommended to enjoy the tarts within 1-2 days of making them.

Tips and Tricks
- Use other fruits. Change up the mini tartlets by trying other fruits. Raspberry, cherry, blackberry, or blueberry would all be delicious.
- Change it up with a different crust. Try a Golden Oreo crust or a graham cracker crust.
- Use other pans. Use a 9 inch tart pan for one large dessert or a small mini tart pan for 12 tiny tarts.
- Chill before serving. The filling needs time to set up. So, make sure you allow extra time in the fridge before serving them to your guests.
- Skip the plastic wrap. If you try to wrap these little desserts with plastic saran wrap, it will stick to the filling.
