Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cream Cheese Tart Shells Easy.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend softened butter and cream cheese until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Step 2
Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour, stirring gently to combine without overmixing.
Step 3
Once your dough is ready, cover it and let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up nicely.
Step 4
While the dough cools, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 5
After chilling, take the dough and roll it into 24 small balls, each roughly the size of an inch.
Step 6
Press each ball into the bottom and up the sides of ungreased mini muffin cups, creating delightful shallow tart shells.
Step 7
Now comes the fun part: fill each shell with your choice of sweet or savory filling, letting your creativity shine.
Step 8
Bake these little treasures in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until the tart shells turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as they bake!.
