Introduction

These are a delicious and affordable way to enjoy cheese cake in small amounts. You can top the individual tarts with pie filling of your choice but you will need to add appropriate calories. I adapted this recipe from the original of Paula Deen of the food network. These are a delicious and affordable way to enjoy cheese cake in small amounts.

    I too am going to use the Neufchatel to keep the sodium down a bit, it adds 10 calories but that is ok. But I will also try your recipe as is.
    You can sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the tops for taste and looks - we do that all the time on regular cheesecake. Yum.     - 4/14/09

    Thanks Linda,
    I've been reading a lot of labels, but to be honest I had not looked for sodium.
    Thanks for the heads-up.
    We will be having some leftovers tonight, cold from the fridge.
    Thanks again,
    Toodles,
    Tony

    Loved these....fast and easy to make. I added some raspberry pie filling to mine and it was a tasty treat. One is just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. - 8/31/09

    You can also use "Neufchatel" 1/3 less fat cream cheese...(70 cal./1 0z. srv., 6 g. fat, 120 mg. sodium.) I like to add 1/4 cup lemon juice + grated lemon peel for extra kick to my "plain" cheesecake. Thanks for this "simple to prepare" recipe! - 4/15/09

    Thank you.
    I hope you and your guest(s) enjoy it as much as I did making it.
    I suppose you could cut calories even more by using all fat free cream cheese, but I really like the 50/50 mixture and I thought it tasted GRREAT. Let me know how you like it! Tony
