Mini Strawberry Tarts

These mini strawberry tarts are perfect for a delightful dessert or a sweet treat. With a buttery crust and juicy strawberry filling, they are sure to impress your family and friends. Plus, theyre easy to make

Ingredients:

• 1 package 14 ounces refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving optional

Instructions:

Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C

Lay the pie crusts out on a surface that has been lightly floured

Cut out small circles with a round cookie cutter or a glass

Then, press each circle into the cups of a mini muffin tin to make mini tart shells

Use a fork to make holes in the bottom of each tart shell so they dont puff up while theyre baking

The tart shells should be baked in a hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown

Now take them out of the oven and let them cool down all the way

Strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice should all be mixed together in a small saucepan

Over medium heat, stir the mixture every now and then for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it thickens and the strawberries get soft

Take the strawberry filling off the heat and let it cool down a bit

Spoon the strawberry filling into the tart shells after the shells and filling have cooled

For the filling to set, put the mini strawberry tarts in the fridge for about 30 minutes

If you want, you can serve the mini strawberry tarts with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top

Have fun
