The Cutest Miffy Strawberry Cheesecake Tartlets You’ll Ever Make
If you’re like me, you love desserts that are not only delicious but also fun to look at.
That’s how I came up with these Miffy Strawberry Cheesecake Tartlets. I’ve always adored Miffy—the simple, sweet little bunny—and I thought, “Why not turn that cuteness into a dessert?”
These tartlets are creamy, fruity, and look so adorable that you’ll almost not want to eat them. But trust me, once you take a bite, you won’t stop. Let me show you exactly how to make them.
Why I Fell in Love with This Recipe
The first time I made these tartlets, I was surprised by how easy they were. They look fancy, but they don’t take much effort. The creamy cheesecake filling, the fresh strawberries, and the little Miffy face on top—it’s the perfect mix of cute and tasty. If you like simple recipes that impress people, this is for you.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Don’t worry, the ingredients are very basic. You might even have most of them at home.
- Tartlet shells (store-bought or homemade)
- Cream cheese
- Heavy cream
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries
- White chocolate (for Miffy’s face)
- Dark chocolate (for the eyes and mouth)
These are all you need to create little tartlets that look straight out of a bakery.
How to Make the Cheesecake Filling
The filling is smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. Here’s how I do it:
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese until soft and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then mix well.
- Slowly add heavy cream and whip until it becomes thick and fluffy.
That’s it! No baking required. The filling is ready in minutes.
Preparing the Tartlet Shells
If you’re short on time, store-bought tartlet shells work perfectly. But if you want to go all out, you can bake your own using a simple buttery pastry. The shells need to be crisp enough to hold the filling but soft enough to bite into.
Adding the Strawberry Layer
This is my favorite part. Slice fresh strawberries thinly and layer them on the bottom of each tartlet shell. The strawberries give a fresh, juicy bite that balances the rich cheesecake filling.
Filling the Tartlets
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each tartlet shell over the strawberries. I prefer piping because it looks neat and professional, but spooning works just as well. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon so you have a clean surface for decorating.
Decorating with Miffy
Here’s where the magic happens. To make the Miffy face:
- Melt white chocolate and shape small oval pieces for Miffy’s head and ears.
- Use melted dark chocolate and a toothpick to draw the eyes and the little “x” mouth.
- Place the Miffy decoration on top of the tartlet.
Suddenly, your simple cheesecake tartlets turn into the cutest dessert ever.
Why You’ll Love These Tartlets
- Easy to make – No baking for the filling.
- Perfect for kids and parties – Everyone loves Miffy.
- Light and refreshing – The strawberries cut through the creamy filling.

These aren’t just desserts; they’re little pieces of joy on a plate.
Tips for the Best Results
- Chill the tartlets for at least an hour before serving so the filling sets.
- Use fresh strawberries, not frozen, for the best flavor and look.
- Don’t stress if your Miffy face isn’t perfect—homemade cuteness is even better.
