Servings (10 tarts) Prep Time : 15 minutes Cooking Time: about 50 minutes for each

Ingredients
- 4 - 8 ounce packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 4 - Large eggs
- 1 - can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)(not evaporated milk)

| Tart Shell Pan |
Step 1
Spray tart pan with a little Bakers Joy Non-stick spray.
In large mixing bowl, beat Philadelphia Cream Cheese until nice and fluffy, then gradually add sweetened condense milk and beat until smooth. Add lemon juice and vanilla blend well. Add eggs (one at a time) mixer should be medium low speed, then add corn starch and mix well.
See note below about over beating your
cheese cake mixture.
Step 2
Pour cheese cake mixture in
your prepared tart pans and bake for 45 - 50 minutes. When done your mini tart shells should have
light brown edges and they will start to separate from tart pan.
Step 3
Let tart shells cool in pan
for about 30 minutes, then remove them carefully and let continue to cool on a
cake rack. Before topping them let cool in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Step 4
When ready to serve, top each tart shell with preserves and garnish with fresh fruit depending on type of preserves you are using.
Note - When preparing cheese cake filling, it's very
important to stir or beat gently after adding each egg. I add a little corn starch
to help stabilize my cheese cake batter.
Overzealous stirring or beating will incorporate air in your batter and
this will cause your cheese cake to puff and fall when baking, this will cause
cracks.
