Blueberry Cream Cheese Tarts

I love to eat. I can cook but not good enough for me to crave for my own cooking. I got tired of eating out and of eating restaurant food. So, I decided to give cooking a try. I started off with dessert recipes from Food Network. Considering my cooking expertise, I choose recipes that are categorized as "easy".

The first recipe I tried is Blueberry Cream Cheese Tarts by Paula Deen. This one is easy, even for me. It is also very delicious. Try it out. May you get inspired, as much as I did, to try out some other recipes.

Ingredients
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 vanilla wafers

1 (21-ounce) can blueberry filling, or other pie filling

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup of a muffin pan.
3. Beat cream cheese with a hand held electric mixer until fluffy.
4. Add sugar and vanilla, beating well.

5. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

6. Place a vanilla wafer, flat side down, in each muffin cup.

7. Spoon cream cheese mixture over wafers.

8. Bake for 20 minutes.

9. Allow tarts to cool completely.

10. Serve with blueberry filling on top, or pie filling of your choice.

And the quest continues...
