- 20 ounces cherry pie filling
- 24 paper cupcake holders
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Place the cream cheese, sugar or Splenda®, lemon juice and vanilla in a large bowl. Blend with an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs and beat until fluffy.
- Line a cupcake tin with paper holders. Place one vanilla wafer into the bottom of each cup.
- Fill cups 2/3 full with the cream cheese mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool 1 hour.
- Top each tart with a cherry and 1 teaspoon of pie filling.
Helpful hints
- If Splenda® no calorie sweetener (granular form) is used, calories are reduced to 96 and carbohydrate is reduced to 6 grams per tart (1/2 Carbohydrate Choice).
- Try low-fat or fat-free cream cheese to reduce the fat content.
- Do not over beat mixture.
- Do not over bake—tarts may appear soft and moist, but will firm up after cooling.
