Strawberry Short Cake Bites

These have got to be one of my favorite desserts right now.  They are so easy to make.

Mini tartlet mold from Demarle at Home (or bigger)



I like the 1 7/8 cutter

one pre made pie crust makes one tray easily (two batches pictured)

Whipped cream (I love my home made stabilized whipped cream)

      I whipped about 2 cups up and still had some leftover

diced up strawberries with a little sugar (splenda or truvia)

      I used about a cup here for two batches

Bake up trays ahead of time (remember to prick the dough to keep from puffing up)

pipe whipped cream onto cooled tartlets, and spoon diced strawberries on top.

I even found that the tartlet shells can be kept in an air tight container.  They weren't that bad even after a few days.  I made 120 of these for our pool party last year and there was not a single one left.  I think I got about two.  Mind you there was only about 50 people there. 

The possibilities are endless with this.  I think next I want to try it with dark chocolate on the shells before the whipped cream gets pipped in.  YUM!
