Method

In a bowl beat together the butter and cream cheese; add flour until well combined. Wrap and refrigerate. Roll dough into 24, 1-inch balls and place inside mini-muffin cups (1 3/4" size.) With a tart shaper or thumb, press dough into each muffin cup and up sides. In a saucepan, melt remaining butter, remove from heat, and add remaining ingredients, except powdered sugar. Spoon about 1 tsp filling into each shell; bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before removing. When cool, sprinkle powdered sugar over tops.

 

Notes: Make tart shell dough a day ahead, if you wish.

 

Number of Servings: 24
