STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB CREAM CHEESE TARTS
I created these tarts for a contest featuring dairy products which, as a dairy farmer's daughter and former county dairy princess, I am always happy to share my recipes. This tart was awarded first place. It's a little time-consuming, but it's worth it for rehearsal dinners, luncheons, brunches or bridal showers.-Marel Raub, Duncannon, Pennsylvania
