Preparation

Step 1

For the tart shells, beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add flour, mix until a soft dough forms. Cover, chill at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls of dough into cups of ungreased mini muffin pan. Dip mini tart shaper in flour; press into dough to form tart shell. For filling, combine all ingredients. Mix well. Fill tart shells evenly with filling mixture.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from mini muffin pan to cooling rack. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
