Preheat oven to 450˚F. Open one pie crust and roll out flat. Place one of your tart pans upside down on the crust. Using a butter knife, cut a circle around the shell leaving about 1/2 inch. (Please disregard the price tag that I couldn’t get off the pan.)
Pop out the circle of dough and press gently into the pan. Be sure to press it well into the fluted edges.
Take a butter knife along the top edge of the pan, cutting off any dough that overlaps the edge and giving the pastry a clean edge.
Take a fork and poke several holes into the bottom and sides of the dough.
Place the pans on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Gently flip the shells over onto a cooling rack. The pie crusts have enough butter in them that they will easily slide out of the pans. Continue until you have used all your pie crusts. I had to do this in three batches because I only had four tart pans. The two crusts will make about 10 tartlets.
Next, prepare your filling by beating together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
This filling is pretty thick, so I used a 2″ cookie scoop (like this one) and put one scoop of filling in each cup. I had exactly the right amount. Use the back of a spoon to spread the filling evenly into the shell.
Cut the mango into cubes. Wash the blackberries. Wash and slice strawberries. Arrange the fruit nicely onto your tarts. I did all of mine with the same fruit in the same pattern, but feel free to get creative! Add more fruits or cluster your fruits differently on different tarts.
