Method

Tart Shell: Beat butter and cream cheese in medium bowl; add flour and sugar, beating until well blended. Cover; refrigerate about one hour or until dough is firm. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; press each ball of dough into cups of ungreased Mini-muffin pan. (I use a tart shaper dipped in flour) Press dough to form tart shell. Filling: Combine all ingredients in bowl, mix well. Fill tart shells evenly will 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.
