Cream Cheese Tart Cups

Combine softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually incorporate flour, mixing just until the ingredients come together in a cohesive mass. Refrigerate for approximately one hour to allow the mixture to firm up.

Next, preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or the equivalent temperature of 165 degrees Celsius, if your oven is in metric units).

Now, divide the dough into small portions and shape each one into a 1-inch ball. Place these balls into greased muffin cups of 1 1/2 inches in diameter, forming a shallow shell around the edges.

Fill each muffin cup with your preferred filling and bake in the preheated oven until the shells are lightly browned, taking around 20 minutes to achieve this.
