Easy to assemble Blueberry Cream Cheese Tarts using ready-to-fill tart shells. Only minutes to prepare toppings and sauce on stove top.

The summer heat is in high gear here in Minnesota. With the incessant rain comes the humidity. Sweet desserts are a relief from the muggy weather but I loathe to turn on the oven. Good thing I chance upon some ready-to-fill tart shells for these mini Blueberry Cream Cheese Tarts.

Only Minutes to Prepare

It took only a few minutes to prepare the blueberry sauce on the stove while the sliced almonds were toasting in the toaster oven. The rest of the cool ingredients were whipped up in no time at all. Even the assembly of the tarts were a breeze.

Please do not omit the ground almonds as they provide texture and fragrance. They were were a quick and easy treat for the family. We really enjoyed them.
