Cherry Cream Cheese Tarts


A perfect dessert to enjoy with company and family! These scrumptious morsels go together effortlessly. After the tarts have finished baking, the centers will fall. In this case, it is a good thing. The fortunate mistake creates perfect little pockets for pie filling!

Recipe from Paula Deen 
  • 16 vanilla wafers
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 C. sugar
  • 2 pkgs. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling, chilled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; place paper liners in muffin tins.

Beat cream cheese until fluffy; add sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Lay one vanilla wafer, flat side down, in each muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture over wafers.
Bake for 20 minutes. Allow tarts to cool completely. Serve with cherry filling on top, or pie filling of your choice.
