Strawberry Cheese Tarts recipe, Eggless Indian Strawberry Cream Cheese Tartlets 

 

This delightful Strawberry Cheese Tarts recipe offers a charming and refreshing dessert, perfectly embodying the essence of Eggless Indian Strawberry Cream Cheese Tartlets. Ideal for parties, special occasions, or simply as a sweet indulgence, these tarts combine a creamy, tangy filling with a vibrant fruity topping. Their no-bake assembly for the filling makes them surprisingly easy to prepare, allowing you to create an impressive dessert without extensive effort, appealing to both seasoned bakers and novices alike.

 

The elegance of these tarts stems from their thoughtfully chosen ingredients, divided into distinct components that come together harmoniously. The foundation consists of 10 ready-to-use tarts, providing convenient individual servings. The star of the show is the luscious Strawberry Sauce, made from ½ cup mashed strawberries, sweetened with 1 tbsp sugar, thickened with 1½ tsp cornflour, brightened with ½ tsp lemon juice, and given a vibrant hue with a drop of red colour. The rich and creamy Filling is a blend of ¾ cup cream cheese, ¼ cup thick curds (dahi), 3 tbsp powdered sugar, and ¼ tsp vanilla essence. For a final flourish, 10 sliced strawberries are used for garnish.

 

The preparation of the Strawberry Sauce is a straightforward process that yields a vibrant and flavorful topping. All the ingredients for the sauce, along with 5 tbsp of water, are combined in a broad non-stick pan. This mixture is then cooked over a medium flame for 6 to 8 minutes, with continuous stirring, until it thickens to a desired consistency. Once cooked, the sauce is set aside, allowing it to cool completely. This cooling step is crucial as it prevents the sauce from thinning out when poured over the creamy filling.

 

Concurrently, the luscious and eggless filling is prepared with remarkable simplicity. In a deep bowl, all the ingredients designated for the filling—the smooth cream cheese, the tangy thick curds (dahi), the sweet powdered sugar, and the aromatic vanilla essence—are combined. Using a whisk, these ingredients are thoroughly mixed until they are well incorporated and the filling achieves a smooth, creamy consistency. This mixture is then set aside, ready to be piped or spooned into the tart shells just before serving.

 

The final assembly of these Strawberry Cheese Tarts is quick and visually appealing, designed to be done just before serving to maintain freshness and crispness. Each of the 10 tarts is first filled with a generous amount of the prepared creamy filling, ensuring an even distribution. Following this, a dollop of the cooled, vibrant strawberry sauce is artfully spooned over the cream cheese filling. To complete the presentation and add a touch of fresh elegance, each tart is immediately garnished with a single, perfectly sliced strawberry. These delightful Eggless Indian Strawberry Cream Cheese Tartlets are then served chilled, offering a delightful burst of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors in every bite.
