Press the circles into the muffin tin and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each baked pie crust.

how to serve Strawberry Pie Bites

Serve chilled on a small plate. Arrange them in a single layer so they look neat. Add a small mint leaf or a light dusting of powdered sugar if you want a pretty touch. Serve with coffee, tea, or milk.

how to store Strawberry Pie Bites

Cover them with plastic wrap or put them in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. Do not leave them at room temperature for more than a few hours because of the cream cheese. If you add whipped cream on top, eat those within one day for best texture.

tips to make Strawberry Pie Bites

Use cold pie crust for firm edges and easy cutting.
Do not overbake the crust; it should be lightly golden.
Make sure cream cheese is soft so it mixes smooth.
Chop strawberries into small pieces so each bite has fruit.
Chill before serving so the filling sets well.

variation (if any)

Use blueberries or raspberries instead of strawberries.
Add a small spoon of lemon curd under the cream cheese for a tangy bite.
Swap the cream cheese filling for a sweetened mascarpone for a richer flavor.
Make mini tarts with a graham cracker crust for a different texture.
