These tarts taste so very good. \u00a0They are made of sugar-sweetened berries, whipped cream cheese, flaky crust, and frosting.<\/p>\n
And they are super cute!\u00a0 The mini chocolate eyes and traditional colored sugars really give them that Peeps look.<\/p>\n
When those things come together it\u2019s a real treat.\u00a0 It may look like a cookie from the outside but inside it\u2019s a pastry.<\/p>\n
The filling is made easily with four different berries – blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries.\u00a0 You sweeten the berries with sugar and add whipped cream cheese.\u00a0 The filling is so delicious you\u2019ll want to make more even after you\u2019ve baked the tarts.<\/p>\n
Making the tarts takes some time so I used a quick premade pie crust.\u00a0 This Pillsbury crust is nice and flaky. \u00a0But, you can make a homemade pie crust if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n
To make these tarts, you\u2019ll need these items.<\/p>\n
My colors matched closely with the pink and purple peeps (shown on the package below).\u00a0 But the Bright Sugars container had some pink sugar mixed in with the purple.\u00a0 So, check the colors in the container before you buy it and keep it upright.<\/p>\n I was so excited to see Wilton\u2019s\u2122 Peeps\u2122 bunny and chick cookie cutter set at Walmart.\u00a0 The very first thing I made with them is berry filled tarts.\u00a0 These cookie cutters are colorful and well made.\u00a0 The chick is 2\u00bd\u201d wide and the bunny is 4\u201d tall.<\/p>\n Here are the details on how to make them.<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 400\u00ba and line baking sheets with parchment paper.\u00a0 Add the fruits to a food processor.\u00a0 Pulse for a few seconds until they are crushed up.\u00a0 Then add cream cheese and sugar.\u00a0 Mix for a few more seconds until just barely combined.\u00a0 Do not overblend.<\/p>\n Use the Peeps\u2122-shaped cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes.\u00a0 Continue to work the remaining dough by first brushing off any flour on the back.\u00a0 Roll the remaining dough out to 1\/8\u201d and cut again to get 32 shapes total.\u00a0 Make sure you have an even number of each kind (for top and bottom pieces).<\/p>\n Gently press down on all of the edges with your fingers.\u00a0 Then use a fork to carefully but firmly press down on all of the edges.\u00a0 This seals it.<\/p>\n IMPORTANT:\u00a0 Use a toothpick to poke 3 holes in the center of each tart through the top dough.<\/p>\n Place them on the baking sheets.\u00a0 Bake for 12-13 minutes.\u00a0 Let cool.<\/p>\n Icing<\/u>:\u00a0 Stir together the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.\u00a0 Working one tart at a time, spread icing on the cooled tarts almost to the edge.<\/p>\n Peeps Berry-Filled Tarts – Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n See you at Walmart!<\/p>\n Jennifer<\/span><\/p>\n Yes I Love Walmart.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unroll the pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface.\u00a0 Use a rolling pin to make sure they\u2019re smoothly rolled out.<\/p>\n
Put 1 to 1\u00bc teaspoons of the filling in the center of 16 shapes.\u00a0 Working one at a time, wet a pastry brush with water and lightly brush all of the edges of the bottom of the shape that\u2019s going to be on the top of the tart.\u00a0 Put it on top of the filling.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle colored sugar on thickly over a paper plate.\u00a0 Press in the tip of mini chocolate chips for eyes and a nose on the bunny.\u00a0 Makes 16 tarts.<\/p>\n
The tarts were eaten up quickly.\u00a0 My family will want to eat them year round.\u00a0 The frozen berry medley and filling are so good. \u00a0I plan to use them in other recipes.<\/p>\n
