Last month we had a scrumptious meal at my in-laws house, for Easter dinner. The menu included the most incredible dessert, Cream Cheese Tarts Topped with Fruit. I’d now consider this the perfect summer dessert.
She’d made this Cream Cheese Fruit Tarts recipe many times before, yet it was my first taste. I was hooked.
The rich and creamy filling mixed perfectly with the fruit, it’s one recipe that’s easy to make as you can see in the instructions.
Cream Cheese Tarts Topped with Fruit was a hit with everyone in the family. This will be made time and again, so it’s also making its way to the Recipe Box at My Organized Chaos.
Enjoy, and thanks to my MIL for the delicious new dessert addition to our Summer 2013 and every summer thereafter!
This super simple dessert recipe for Cream Cheese Tarts Topped with Fruit is what I'd consider the perfect Summer Dessert.

Those look delicious! Perfect Summer treat. Now I’m hungry
Soooo good!
Let me know what you think if you try the recipe!
Those look amazing! I pinned it so I can make it this summer. My kids will be so excited!
Thanks for pinning, my kids gobble them up!
Anything with cream cheese and condensed milk makes me happy. These are perfect for summer. Thanks for sharing!
Amen Amiyrah, they are a nice combination!
So you’re able to find the tart shells already made? How convenient is this?!
Oh yes, Tenderflake has some in the freezer section. While I make a mean pastry, these are so convenient and handy. Something I always have on hand!
These look delicious! Would be perfect for summer picnics.
So glad you all enjoyed them!
YUM! That looks amazing!

Yum, those look DELICIOUS!
Yum! This recipe would work well using a cookie “pizza” base with the cheese and fruit too!
BRILLIANT!! Trying that next!
😉
It could also become a frosting for the cake. I’ll need to try this cream to see which of my cakes will go with it…
Oh wow. I’m totally sending this to my mom to make for me lol.
I like the way you think Stephanie!!
🙂
Be still my heart! 🙂 These look AMAZING! Thanks for sharing
my family is cheese cake crazy and this fast and easy one looks good. now just for clarification and I know the answer but to be sure the crusts are aready cooked?
already oops
Ooooh, those look tempting! I think I’ll pick up the ingredients to make for the kids this weekend (and maybe one or two for Mom as well!)
These look delicious! So fresh! Perfect for a summer BBQ!
Oh and it’s beautiful to look at too!
Made these & topped with mandarin orange slices, they were delicious! The only thing I noticed was that I had WAAAAAY too much “sauce” after filling a package of 12 Tenderflake shells. My kids just ate it out of the bowl this time but next time I’d make 24 shells with this recipe!
They look so delicious. Would love to make these this summer for a quick and easy dessert
Yeah, you had me at Eagle Brand Condensed Milk. So delicious.
I made these, but I used a gluten free tart shell. They were so awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
I always make these! They are absolutely delicious when topped with strawberries and blueberries!
I’m sucker for anything with cream cheese (I love carrot cake for this reason!) This is a nice simple summer recipe to make with my daughter and yes she is excited. It will be awesome with some fresh strawberriers from our local berry farm.
Wow – I just noticed that you are a Brand Ambassador for Philly Cream Cheeses and the Real Women of Philadelphia – I could never do that – I’d weigh a tonne at the end of my ambassadorship. I pinned this recipe…..
It looks so delicious, another recipe I need to try
A great summer dessert, piled high with fresh fruit. Thanks once again for sharing
Thank you! Made these the other day using the small appetizer frozen shells(18) . You can pop the whole thing in your mouth! Big hit with everyone. A keeper for sure. I love the ease and taste of all your recipes that I have tried 🙂
These look really yummy. I have a friend who makes something similar but bakes a shortbread cookie crust—I LOVE HER
Oooh these look fresh and delicious!! I love cream cheese and fruit!
This would be a great recipe to make with the kids!
Those look amazing Tammi!! nom nom 😉
Delicious but can they be frozen?
I don’t see why not!
These tarts looks so yummy and perfect for summer!
I made these with graham crackers crust and pie filling on top. Everyone loves it. Thank you for the recipe.
I know someone who would just LOVE these – can’t go wrong with berries on top can you!!!???
