Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F.

Combine all topping ingredients in small bowl; mix with fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Combine 3/4 cup butter and cream cheese in medium bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Add flour; continue beating until dough forms. Divide dough into 36 pieces; place 1 piece into each ungreased mini muffin pan cup. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of cups.

Combine all filling ingredients in large bowl; beat with wire whisk until smooth. Pour about 1 tablespoon filling into each unbaked tart shell; sprinkle each with about 1 teaspoon topping.

Topping, crust and filling can be prepared up to a day ahead. Place each in container with tight-fitting lid; refrigerate. Assemble mini tarts right before baking.

OMG if I could give this recipe 10 stars, I would! I was VERY surprised to see how well they came together, baked, and tasted........absolutely delicious. I had previouslly bought 2 mini muffin tins [from the well known cake decorating company] and they came in so handy. I ended up with 46 crusts, luckily having a wooden espresso tamper - perfect fit that I dipped into flour and then pressed into each cup forming the crust easily, & quickly. I had enough filling for 43 crusts so I just filled the other 5 with some homeade lemon curn I had on hand. I also filled the crusts to just about the top, added the topping, and none overflowed!!!! The other surprise was they just popped right out with little knife effort as well! I topped each with sweetened whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. A delicious and impressive take take along or serve guests. Thank-you for a GREAT recipe!

I made these for Thanksgiving instead of the traditional pumpkin pie. Unless I made the little balls that make up the crust too big, I had alot of left over filling. None the less they turned out great. This is a great recipe and dangerous to the hips as you can easily pop 4-5 of these things with a cup of coffee or milk. Will definately make these again for Christmas.
