Serving Suggestions
These lemon cream cheese tarts are a great after dinner dessert or an anytime sweet treat.
Mini fruit tarts are also a perfect addition for a dessert table served alongside Apple Coffee Cake Squares, Strawberry Lemonade Cream Cheese Cookies, or even Whipped Shortbread Cookies.
Storage
Cream cheese fruit tarts should be store in the fridge in an airtight container. If fully assembled, they will be great for a day or two, and then the fruit color tends to bleed into the topping. If stored without fruit on top, they will last for 3-4 days.
Can cream cheese fruit tarts be frozen?
No, I do not recommend freezing cream cheese fruit tarts. After being frozen, the texture will change.
Recipe FAQ
They do hold their shape and texture well when store int he fridge in an airtight container, up until best before time.
Yes! I suggest making them completely without the fruit topping, and add the fruit before serving. You can slice and get the fruit ready and store separately, then it’s so quick and easy to add them later.
