Ingredients

• 1 cup granola
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Strawberry Cream Tart Cups

1. In a medium bowl, mix the granola with 2 tablespoons of honey until evenly coated. This will be your tart crust.
2. Using a muffin tin, press about 2 tablespoons of the granola mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the remaining honey and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
5. Remove the granola crusts from the fridge and fill each cup with the strawberry cream mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Top each tart cup with sliced fresh strawberries, arranging them as desired.
7. Chill the tart cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow them to set properly.
8. Garnish with mint leaves if desired and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending.
• Don’t skip the chilling step – it helps the tart cups hold their shape.
• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
• For extra sweetness, drizzle more honey over the top before serving.

Easy Variations

• Swap out strawberries for other seasonal fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture for a citrusy twist.
• Use graham cracker crumbs instead of granola for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A refreshing mint lemonade or iced tea.
• Fresh fruit salad for a light side dish.
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
