Pretty to look at - more fun to eat. Angella makes these delicious tarts that are unspeakably yummy. We begged her for the recipe. Enjoy. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 (5 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (eagle brand) |
1/2 cup lemon juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Use tiny muffin tins – approximately 1 1/2” diameter. This would yield about 3 dozen.
2. Mix ingredients for shortbread in mixmaster. (butter, icing sugar, flour, cornstarch) Don’t roll but pat into muffin tins with your fingers to form shells. Prick the bottoms with a fork and bake 20 minutes at 300 to 325 degrees. During baking time, prick bottoms again if the shells puff up. These may be made in large quantity and frozen.
3. Cheese ‘N Fruit Filling: In a large bowl beat cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in milk. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
4. O.K. Now, fill tarts at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend. Top with fresh fruit (i.e. kiwi, strawberries).
