How to Make Cream Cheese Tarts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces (227g) of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup (120g) of all-purpose flour.
- Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- Place one vanilla wafer in the bottom of each liner, bottom-side down.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese batter onto each wafer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the tarts cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
- Top with your favorite cherry pie filling, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Yields approximately 3 dozen large tarts or 6 dozen small tarts. These can be frozen for later enjoyment!
