Servings: 6 tartlets
Ingredients
Golden Oreo Shells
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 ½ cups golden oreo crumbs
Strawberry Filling
- ⅔ cup strawberries chopped
- 5 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup cool whip
Instructions
For the Tartlet Shells
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare six 4-inch tartlet pans with cooking spray.
- Mix the oreo crumbs and melted butter in a small mixing bowl until completely combined. Evenly distribute the mixture between the tartlet pans. Press the crumbs along the bottom and the sides of the pans. Bake the shells for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool while making the filling.
For the Strawberry Filling
- Add the chopped strawberries to a food processor and pulse until smooth puree forms. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the strawberry puree and mix until completely combined.
- Fold the cool whip into the rest of the strawberry mixture.
- Place the strawberry filling in a piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe into the 6 tartlet shells. Let the tartlets set in the fridge for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
- Garnish with sliced strawberries and flowers if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
Storage, Freezing & Make-Ahead Instructions
Storage: Store leftovers by placing them in an airtight container rather than covering them with plastic wrap or foil so that the wrap doesn't stick to the filling. Then store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze: If you want to freeze the tartlets, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, thaw the tartlets in the refrigerator overnight and top them with fresh strawberries or other desired toppings just before serving.
Make Ahead: You can make strawberry tartlets ahead of time, but there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that they stay fresh and don't become soggy.
Make-Ahead Crust: If you are making the Golden Oreo shells ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to store them for longer, you can freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Make-Ahead Filling: For the strawberry filling, you can prepare it up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. However, since the filling contains Cool Whip, it is best to assemble the tartlets just before serving to avoid the whipped topping from becoming too soft or deflating.
When ready to serve, fill the Golden Oreo shells with the strawberry filling and top with fresh strawberries or other desired toppings. Keep in mind that the longer the tartlets sit, the softer the shells may become, so it is best to assemble them as close to serving time as possible for the best texture.
