INGREDIENTS

  • Pastry Crust

    • 🧀 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    • 🧈 2 cups butter
    • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • Gelatin Mixture

    • 3 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O® mix
    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar
    • 3 drops red food coloring
    • 💧 3 ½ cups boiling water
    • ¼ cup cornstarch
    • 💧 ¼ cup water

  • Topping

    • 🍓 3 pounds fresh strawberries, sliced
    • 🍦 1 ½ cups whipped cream, or to taste (Optional)

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease mini muffin pans.

2

Place cream cheese and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Roll dough into 70 small balls and press them into mini muffin pan cups to form pastry crusts.

3

Bake crusts in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

4

Stir gelatin, sugar, and food coloring into the boiling water. Bring the mixture back to a boil. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water into a paste. Stir the cornstarch paste into the boiling gelatin until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

5

Spoon cooled gelatin mixture evenly into the tart shells. Push a strawberry half down into each tart. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream just before serving.
