  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand suggested)
  • 4 ounces lemon juice, fresh preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 (4 inch) pre-baked tart shells
  • 1 (17-ounce) can cherry pie filling

Preparation

Step 1

Using a small mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract until smooth.
