Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 70 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 100 grams Fresh fruit or pie filling (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Spoon about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the crust mixture into each cupcake liner. Press the crumbs firmly into the base using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy using a handheld or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling evenly onto the cooled crusts, filling each liner to the top.
Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set the filling.
Before serving, top the tarts with fresh fruit or a dollop of pie filling, if desired.
Carefully remove the cupcake liners and serve the tarts chilled.
