Ingredients
Base:
- 20 tart shells, (ready to bake from the freezer section at your local grocer, follow package instructions)
Filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon white vanilla extract, (can use regular vanilla extract)
- 1 tablespoon milk
Topping:
- 1 pint raspberries
- 1 pint strawberries, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Bake the mini tart shells according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
- While the tarts are baking, place the topping ingredients into a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook until the berries break down, the sugar dissolves, and the mixture becomes thick. Stir constantly. This process will take about 15-20 minutes over medium heat. Don't walk away - the filling will burn quite easily.
- Once the filling is done, remove from heat and pour the filling into a glass bowl. Set aside to cool completely.
- In the meantime, beat the cream cheese using a hand-held mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the lime juice, white vanilla extract, and milk to the cream cheese and beat until well incorporated. Set aside.
- Now, you're ready to assemble. It is very important that the tarts and the filling are cooled to room temperature!
- Using a small cookie scoop, place about a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each tart.
- Next, add about one teaspoon of the topping mixture onto the cream cheese mixture.
- Use a toothpick to swirl the topping mixture into the filling mixture.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
