Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 5 tbsp melted unsalted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottoms of six 3-inch tartlet pans, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to set the crust.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Step 3: In a chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and light.
- Step 4: Spoon the cream filling evenly over the chilled crusts in the tartlet pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Step 5: Arrange the 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries decoratively on top of each tartlet and sprinkle evenly with 1/3 cup chopped pistachios.
- Step 6: Refrigerate the tartlets for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
