  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. With butter grease 8 inch tart pan with a removable bottom or lightly spray with Pam. Set aside.

  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  9. FOR FILLING: In a food processor or electric mixer place the cream cheese and process until smooth. Add sugar and beat until incorporated.
