If you’re gluing them to toothpicks, glue the toothpick about half way down the flag. It helps to distribute the weight more evenly.

Red, White & Blue Tarts Recipe:

Ingredients:

FILLING:
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3/4 cup halved strawberries
3/4 cup blueberries

CRUST:
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cups margarine or butter
1/4 cup sugar

FILLING: Combine whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat on low until well mixed, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat at high speed until peaks form. Fold in sour cream and lemon peel. Gently fold in berries.

CRUST: Combine Graham Cracker crumb, sugar & melted butter or margarine & mix well. Press into the bottom of baking cups or 9 inch pie pan.

Spoon mixture evenly into crusts. Refrigerate one hour before serving. If desired, garnish with additional fruit and small flags. Store in refrigerator.

I used to help my mom make these for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July & Labor Day when I was a kid. They were a favorite then & still are now! They’re the perfect “patriotic” dessert. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you make them, they’re seriously amazing!
