Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces cream cheese, softened, divided
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons butter, softened, divided
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 cup flour
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon plus 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
3 drops yellow food coloring
24 fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, beat 3 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter and lemon peel until blended. Gradually add flour, mix well. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 325°. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls; press onto the bottom and up sides of 24 ungreased mini muffin cups.
  • For filling, in a small bowl, beat 1/2 cup sugar and remaining cream cheese until smooth. Beat in 1 teaspoon lemon juice and vanilla. Add egg; beat on low speed just until blended. Fill cups half full with cream cheese mixture. Bake 18-20 minutes or until set. Carefully run a knife around tarts to loosen from pan. Cool in pans on wire racks.
  • While the tarts are cooling, in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and remaining sugar; whisk in water. Bring to boil, stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Gently stir in food coloring and remaining lemon juice and butter. Cool to room temperature.
  • Remove cooled tarts from pans. Spoon on topping; top each tart with a raspberry. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
