Strawberry Cheese Tarts
by Tarla Dalal
Here is a dainty and exotic dessert of tarts topped with a creamy cheesy filling, laced with enchanting fresh strawberry sauce, and garnished with fresh strawberries.
We have used readymade cream cheese with thick curds to make the filling. This not only gives a luscious mouth-feel but also saves time.
The sauce made of mashed strawberries gives the Strawberry Cheese Tarts a very refreshing aroma and lingering taste, which contrasts beautifully with the cheesy filling.
When strawberries are in season, make sure you try this recipe. It can be served as a dessert , or even served to kids as a snack.
