chocolate cherry cheese tarts
These pretty little tarts are reminiscent of chocolate covered cherries...only the chocolate is inside the cheesecake! Sometimes, I make them even smaller, in those tiny little tart pans with just one cherry on top. But, hey...it's Valentine's Day, and these are just the perfect size to satisfy your Sweetie's sweet tooth!

How To Make chocolate cherry cheese tarts
-
Step 1For Cheesecake filling: Blend cream cheese and sugar. Add chocolate syrup, vanilla, flour, egg and egg yolk; blend well. Divide evenly into 12 graham crust tart pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes. -
Step 2For Topping: Combine sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Spread a heaping tablespoon on top of each tart. Chill for 1 hour. Before serving, top each tart with a spoonful of the pie filling (I like to include 3 cherries).
