Chocolate Cherry Tarts

Recipe Introduction


This came from a diabetic cookbook. To me it seems to still have a high amount of carbs, I was thinking maybe trying Splenda in place of the sugar. The grandulated Splenda. I'm not sure though. I know the cherries, will still add to the carbs though.







List of Ingredients



• 2 (8oz) packages Neufchatel (light) cream cheese, room temp
  
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar or granulated Splenda
  
• 2 eggs, room temp
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 24 Keebler ® chocolate wafers, 30% reduced fat
  
• 1 (21oz) can light cherry pie filling
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 ° F.
   
   
2. Line muffin tins with foil and paper cupcake liners.
   
   
3. Beat cream cheese and sugar or Splenda until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
   
   
4. Place a chocolate wafer in each cup, spoon on cheese mixture. Bake 18 to 20 minutes.
   
   
5. Remove from tins and let cool. Top with cherry pie filling.
