Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberries)
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the flour and salt. Mix until everything is well combined, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Take the dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of a mini tart pan or muffin tin. Make sure to poke a few holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let ’em cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the crusts are cooling, mix sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes to create a delicious syrup.
- Once the crusts are cool, fill each little tart with whipped cream, then top with the sweetened strawberries.
- Chill for a bit if you can, and then they’re ready to serve!
