Start by making the cheesecake filling. Since this was a kid created dish we used cheesecake pudding which was more like a chilled custard but very tasty!
You could also use premade cheesecake filling or, of course, you can make your own!
Prepare cheesecake pudding according to package.
It is an instant mix and the box said to whisk in 2 cups of milk with the dry mix then chill for 5 minutes.
Obviously you won’t use the whole bowl but you will need about 1/2 cup of filling.
I found these mini shortbread tart shells for this dessert at Walmart. They come in a 12 pack.
Now you need two types of fruit- one red and one blue. Since this is a mini dessert I went with small blueberries and diced strawberries.
I used about 1/4 cup diced strawberries and 2 tbsp mini blueberries.
Once the cheesecake filling is chilled and thickened, it’s time to fill the tarts!
Using a small scoop or spoon fill each tart shell with the cheesecake filling.
Only add a spoonful or less to fill evenly to the top, smoothing flat.
Add a row of diced strawberries on the left and a row of 3 mini blueberries on the right on top of each cheesecake tart.
Now you have a red. white, and blue Team USA themed treat!
Serve immediately and enjoy!
