Berry tartlettes

First recipe, just because I've got blackberries on the brain!  I came up with this simple recipe when a friend wanted tarts for a birthday celebration.  These tiny treats are as adorable as they are delish.  You can use any fruit that is in season, I've chosen berries today to satisfy my craving.  .


1 package refrigerated pie crust
1 c. marshmallow cream
1 c. cream cheese
1 tbsp sour cream
fresh bluberries, strawberries, and blackberries

Roll out the pie crust onto a flour dusted surface.  Using a 3 inch circular cookie cutter, cut 12 circles from the dough.  If you do not have a cookie cutter, flip a glass with smooth edges over and use the top to cut your circles.  Place the circles in the cavities of a cupcake pan and slightly ruffle the edges so that you don't get a large piece of dough off to one side.  Use a fork to make small holes in the bottom of each cup, I usually stick my fork in each cup twice to make eight tiny holes.  Bake as directed on package, I did 350 degrees for about 6 minutes or until lightly browned.  Let your cups cool.  Mix the marshmallow cream, cream cheese, and sour cream together with a hand mixer or a whisk until fluffy.  Fill each cup with mixture.  Add your freash fruit to the top of each cup. Refrigerate until ready to serve.   Voila...fresh berry tartlettes.  How easy was that?!?
