Sweetheart pie (or tarts)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack (3 oz) cream cheese; softened
½ cup Confectioners sugar
1 cup Cool Whip; thawed
1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
1 Prepared graham cracker pie shell or individual tart shells

Directions

I got this recipe from the Mini-page of our local newspaper, in the section called "Kids Recipes." The filling doesn't set firmly, so you don't get clean slices, so I usually do this in the prepared graham cracker tart shells that you can buy in the local supermarket. And you know, this really tastes good.

1. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth and creamy.

2. Stir in whipped topping and pie filling. Mix well.

3. Spoon into pie shell or tart shells.

4. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

5. Top with cool whip before serving. For a garnish, use a couple of fresh strawberry slices.

Notes: This is rich, but is is really good. There is just enough filling to fill a package of (6, I believe?) tart shells that you buy already made.

You can freeze these, too....Just take them out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving time to give them time to thaw. Other flavors of pie filling can be used as well. If you use "cherry" pie filling, mix it with an electric mixer to chop up the fruit before adding it to the filling.

Blueberry is also really good in this recipe.
