Cream Cheese Tarts – for 150

17    8 oz Cream Cheese

17    Cups powdered sugar

17    8 oz containers Cool Whip

17   1 cup container strawberry yogurt

5 ½   Tbsp. Vanilla

Tart shells - pie crust type (8 to package at Walmart or Kroger)   20 Boxes (in case some are broken)

Bake shells and cool.  Soften cream cheese and add sugar. (Large Kitchen-aide type mixer works well for this)   Fold in whipped topping, yogurt and vanilla.

Spoon in baked shells and spoon on cut up sweetened fresh strawberries. 

Note:   The original recipe called for whipped cream instead of cool whip.  This will be faster.  I also added the yogurt because it made it taste better I thought.
