Happy Valentine’s Day EVERYONE! Whether you’re single, married, committed or divorced, today is a day of love and celebrating love even if it means just appreciating and honoring the love you have for yourself! To observe the Red and White themed day, I made these simple and delicious cream cheese mini tarts. I did this totally last minute and expected them to fail (knowing me and how things go when I do them last minute) but I was very pleased that that wasn’t the case. I only ate one because I’m watching the weight.
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 Keebler mini pie crusts (I used 6)
1/4 cup jam of your choice
2 tbsp honey
raspberries and strawberries
Method:
1. Beat cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy.
2. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
3. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla until blended. Spoon about 2 teaspoons into each mini crust.
4. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
5. Mix jelly and honey together and brush on fruit and then place them on the tarts. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
I also did some chocolate covered strawberries. Six with just plain chocolate and the other six with chocolate and coconut flakes. Delish!
Before ( I didn’t end up using the white chocolate)…

Bye For Now…..
Oh these are so lovely! I still haven´t decided what I´m cooking tonight (typical) but I think these could be dessert!
Thanks Chica. What did you end up making?

Well these are just lovely and I hope we see a post with that creme brulee’ in the near future!!
I didn’t take not one pic of those creme brûlées :( but I will make them again and definitely do a post.
Oh. The coconut is a genius idea. And I <3 anything in those mini pie tins!!
Thanks Corrie Anne. I loved the coconut on the strawberries.
So cute! Nothing is as good as cheesecake and berries…well, except chocolate and berries, which you’ve got there, too! ~Ruth
Hahaha. Chocolate tops them all. They were all lovely sweet treats. Thanks for stopping by.

These tarts look so yummy! Wish I had one right now! ;)
Thanks Christina!
good looking! I wonder how the cream cheese tastes like. Does it taste like custard? And happy valentine’s day!!! I hope you had a great one with your family!
Yum! Excellent how you alternated the berries too!
These are adorable! Love it!
