Ingredients

For the Cream Cheese Filling

For the Assembly

Instructions

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for a smooth filling that will melt in your mouth!

🥄 Don’t skip the softening; it ensures your filling is creamy and avoids lumps. Leave the cream cheese out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.

  1. Add Sugar: Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese mixture while mixing well. This will give your filling the perfect sweetness.

  2. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Finish by stirring in the vanilla extract for a hint of flavor.

  3. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Place a vanilla wafer in each cup of a paper-lined muffin tin.

  4. Fill with Cream Cheese Mixture: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the wafers, filling each cup generously.

  5. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is set.

  6. Chill: Allow the tarts to cool in the muffin tin, then refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavor.

  7. Serve: When ready to serve, top each tart with a dollop of strawberry pie filling. Enjoy the delightful contrast of the creamy filling and fruity topping!

🍓 For an alternative topping, feel free to mix it up with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. The possibilities are endless!
