Submitted by tazdevilfan

"This elegant-looking dessert is easy to make, and the cute wonton "cups" can be made in advance. They're a different way to present fresh strawberries when entertaining. The recipe is easy to double, too."

These looked soo elegant & impressive. The great thing was they took about 15 minutes to make. I used a mini-muffin pan and was able to make 24 mini tarts. It turned out great. I made the tarts the night before and filled them in the morning. They stayed nice and crispy. next time, i'm going to add some fresh lime juice to the filling to give it a real burst of flavour. DELICIOUS desert! Thanks for a 5 star recipe all the way!

i have made these before (i think the recipe was from taste of home)- they are easy to make, delicious and really cute- everyone loved them. they make a nice light dessert but they are small- you probably need 2 per person
