Red White and Blue Tartlets

A perfect Fourth of July dessert

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, or hulled and left whole
  • 1/2 cup shredded dried coconut
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
 

 

 

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.  Stir in the melted butter.   Press the mixture into six 4-inch round individual tartlet pans, dividing equally.  Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until firm and lightly colored.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

In a deep bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks and set aside.  In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar together.  Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and spread in the bottom of the tart shells.  Arrange the strawberries, coconut, and blueberries in 3 stripes on top of each tartlet.

Makes 6 tartlets.
