Strawberry Cheesecake Tartlets

Ingredients

  1. Cooking spray
  2. 1-1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs, (about 8 graham crackers)
  3. 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  4. 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  5. 8 ounces neufchatel cream cheese
  6. 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  7. 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  8. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1 egg
  10. 1/4 cup sugar
  11. 1 cup strawberries, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 6 individual tart pans with removable bottoms with cooking spray (or one 6-inch springform pan).

Combine crumbs and butter in a small bowl and, using your fingers, press into the bottom and up the sides of pans.

Combine sour cream, cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, egg and sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend just until smooth. Pour into the crusts and place on a baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until firm around the edges, but still slightly loose in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack. Then cover and chill.

Before serving, top with strawberries.

Notes

Cook Time 15-20 minutes

    I love this! I will make this soon, it looks perfect! I love how it makes only 6 servings and it doesn’t call for a whole lot of dairy.

    We had it again for Easter dinner last night and it was perfect. My daughter is beside herself that it’s strawberry season again ;-). Enjoy!

    We had these last night for Mother’s Day dinner with first-of-the-season local strawberries. We swooned. I baked them in small ramekins because I do not have a 6″ tart pan nor individual tart pans and only got four servings. No one complainted about them being a bit bigger!! These would be so elegant for a “light” dinner party dessert and served with any seasonal berry.

    Oh, Denise, I’m so glad you swooned! Thank you for sharing … this made my day. And happy belated Mother’s day!
