    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: BrentWhen I make them for Christmas, I use either cherry or strawberry pie filling for the topping. I remove the paper liners (after chilling) and put them on a pretty serving tray. It makes a beautiful presentation. (You could also use the Christmas-themed paper liners and leave them on when serving.) I always double the recipe, so there will be some leftovers!

    List of Ingredients




    2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    12 vanilla wafers
    1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling or whipped cream

    Recipe



    Place softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl; beat with electric mixer at medium speed until soft and creamy. Gradually add sugar beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

    Place a vanilla wafer in each paper-lined muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture over wafers, filling cups full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Leave in muffin pans and refrigerate overnight.

    To serve, remove paper liners, if desired, and top with a small amount of blueberry pie filling or whipped cream. (Reserve leftover pie filling for another use.) Yield: 12 servings.

    Note: If you double the recipe, one can of pie filling is enough for 2 dozen tarts.
