Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy.
Add flour in four parts, blending smoothly each time.

Pinch off pieces of dough (about the size of a pecan in the shell).
Press dough into bottom and sides of miniature muffin tins.

Mix filling ingredients together.
Pour into prepared tassie shells, about two-thirds of the way full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Cool completely while still in the pan.
