Strawberry Tarts...

Several people have asked for the recipe for strawberry hearts tarts that were served in The Strawberry Hearts Diner--
which is on sale at Amazon right now for only $1.99!

So I rustled up the recipe and the picture for all of y'all who have asked. Note: they are totally made from scratch and I used heart tart pans but they can be made in cupcake tins if you don't have the tart pans.


Strawberry Tarts
Crust:
1 cup of finely ground pecans
2 T. sugar
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
6 T. butter (not margarine)
1 T. ice water
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix together pecans, sugar, flour and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture is like cornmeal. Add the water and form into a ball. Chill for 30 minutes. Press into tart pans, keeping the dough as even as possible. Bake at 350 degrees until slightly brown, about 15 minutes.

Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
2 t. vanilla
1 pint Cool Whip

Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Fold in Cool whip and fill cooled tart shells with the mixture.

Glaze:
1 pint of strawberries
2 T. sugar
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 T. corn starch

Crush half of the strawberries to make 1/3 cup. Put in saucepan and add water. Heat to boiling and then reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes. Press through strainer to make 1/2 cup of puree. Return to saucepan and add sugar and cornstarch. Stirring constantly cook over medium heat until thickened and clear. Add a few drops of red food coloring if desired.  Cool to room temperature. Spoon over the tarts and either top with sliced strawberries or a whole berry.  Chill and serve.
