Cream Cheese Tarts (Paula Deen) image

A wonderful little cheesecake for a dessert buffet. It is incredibly easy to make and looks and tastes very impressive. I saw Paula Deen make them on FoodTV and I couldn't wait to try them myself. Use canned pie filling, fresh fruit or use your imagination!

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 vanilla wafers
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (or whatever else suits your fancy) or 1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling (or whatever else suits your fancy)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup (12 total) of muffin pan.
  • Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
  • Place a vanilla wafer FLAT side down, in each muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture over wafers filling each to about 1/4 inch from top of paper.

I just watched Paula make this on TV. They look delicious! I reduced the sugar from 1 cup (personal preference) You can use other flavored pie fillings in place of the blueberry or even fresh fruit.
