Our newest creation are these wonderful little (well, not so little - 4.5") cheesecake tarts. Pictured are our homemade lemon curd cheese cake tarts and fresh cherry cheesecake tarts.Prepare your favorite pie crust recipe and pre-bake. The first layer is a cheese cake filling. Mix together 3 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2T sugar and any flavoring you might like to add. We LOVE fresh zest so added lemon zest to the lemon tarts.
Place a layer (about a 2 oz scoop) of the cheesecake mix in the bottom of your pre-baked crust. Chill.
Once cold, you will have an easier time putting on the topping of your choice - lemon curd (we used Ina Garten's recipe from foodnetwork.com), cherry, raspberry, blueberry, etc.
We also made the cute little stars from our leftover crust!
Give them a try - can be made in these tart pans or a full-sized pie plate.
