Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out your pie dough onto a floured surface and cut it into 5-inch circles.
- Press these circles into mini pie molds, ensuring they fit snugly. Line each mini crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
- Bake the mini crusts for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the weights and parchment, and bake for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
- Once done, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a blender, blend the chopped strawberries with lemon juice until smooth. Heat the mixture in a saucepan, sprinkle in the gelatin, and stir until fully dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Combine the strawberry mixture with mascarpone cheese and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Fold until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream with the remaining vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks are formed.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture. Spoon into cooled pie crusts.
- Chill the filled tartlets in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
- Serve topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, and mint leaves.

Notes
For best flavor, use ripe strawberries and allow ample chilling time to set the mousse properly.
