Lena's fruity tartlets

 Hello Gentle Readers



Lena got into a Baking mindset this morning and made some scrummy tartlets.

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

1 sheet of premade shortcrust pastry

Frozen mixed berries

Low fat cream cheese

Sugar (optional)

Method

Roll out the pastry and cut it into 5cm circles (we used a drinking glass).

Place the circles into a muffin tray pushing down so they become little cups.

Place in a preheated oven (180) for about 10 minutes.

Take out of the oven and spoon some cream cheese into each tartlet case. Spoon in some of the mixed berries and sprinkle a little sugar on top.



Place back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.

Take out, allow to cool and serve. Yummy.
