Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pulse 1 cup shelled pistachios and 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  2. Step 2: Press the pistachio crust mixture evenly into the bottoms and up the sides of six 3-inch tartlet pans. Refrigerate crusts for 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Step 4: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Fold 1 cup diced fresh strawberries into the cream cheese filling.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the strawberry cream mixture into the chilled tartlet crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  7. Step 7: Garnish each tartlet with 2 tbsp chopped whole pistachios and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set.
