Tips:

  • For a smooth and creamy filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
  • Use a high-quality cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin instead. Just fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full of batter.
  • Be careful not to overfill the tart shells, or the filling will spill over during baking.
  • Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up.
  • For a special touch, garnish the tarts with fresh berries or whipped cream.
