Ingredients
Scale
Tart Shells
- 12 small tart shells, baked
- 14g butter
- 60g pink marshmallows
- 88g cream cheese
- 85g white chocolate
- 6 tbsp strawberry jam
- 190ml cream
- 1/4 cup additional strawberry jam for core
- 12 strawberries, sliced
Topping
- 200ml whipping cream
- 100g mascarpone
- Powdered sugar to taste
Instructions
- Melt the Base Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt together the butter, pink marshmallows, cream cheese, and white chocolate. This should take a few minutes, stirring occasionally to combine into a smooth mixture. Once melted, transfer the mixture to a glass bowl and stir in 6 tablespoons of strawberry jam. Allow this mixture to cool completely.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Whip 190ml of cream until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cooled strawberry cream cheese mixture to lighten the texture. Once fully incorporated, cover and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Fill Tart Shells: When the mixture has slightly thickened, transfer it to a piping bag. Pipe the strawberry cheesecake filling evenly into each baked tart shell. Optionally, pipe or spoon a little additional strawberry jam into the center of each tart, then top with slices of fresh strawberries.
- Prepare Mascarpone Topping: In a mixing bowl, whip together the 200ml whipping cream, 100g mascarpone, and powdered sugar to your preferred sweetness until stiff peaks form. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, place dollops of this creamy mixture onto each tart to create a domed topping.
- Decorate: Finish by decorating the tops of the tartlets with chocolate and fondant shaped to resemble the character Miffy, adding a charming and playful touch to each dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the tart shells are fully baked and cooled before filling to prevent sogginess.
- Cooling the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream is essential to maintain the light texture.
- Fresh strawberries add a nice contrast in texture and freshness—choose ripe, firm berries.
- For decoration, use edible food coloring or pre-made fondant shapes if available to achieve a polished look.
- The tartlets are best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
