Mini Cheesecake Tarts

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 6
  • 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) package fat free cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 2/3 cup gingersnap crumbs (12 to 16 gingersnaps)
  • 3 cups fresh fruit
  • fresh mint sprig

Recipe

  • 1 beat cream cheeses at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth; add sugar and flour, and beat well.
  • 2 add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
  • 3 stir in extracts.
  • 4 lightly coat 6 (4-inch) tart pans with removable bottoms with vegetable cooking spray; sprinkle pans evenly with gingersnap crumbs, shaking to coat bottom and sides of pans.
  • 5 (let excess crumbs remain, evenly covering bottom of each tart pan.)
  • 6 place tart pans on a baking sheet.
  • 7 divide cheesecake batter evenly between tart pans.
  • 8 bake at 350° for 18 to 20 minutes or until set.
  • 9 remove from oven, and let cool on a wire rack 30 minutes; remove from tart pans. (a pancake turner works great for removing the tarts from the bottom of the pans and transferring them to a serving platter.)
  • 10 divide fruit evenly, and arrange decoratively over each cheesecake.
  • 11 garnish with mint, if desired.
