Lemon Cheesecake Tarts- Happiness!

Lemon Cheesecake Tarts are the perfect dessert for a BBQ, brunch, or a group. Served as individual desserts, they are the perfect small bite to end the meal!

To make the Lemon Cheesecake Tarts, start with the cheesecake. In a large bowl, pour half of one box of lemon gelatin mix, and whisk with a half cup of boiling water for 3 minutes until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. Reserve remainder of the dry gelatin mix. Set out the 12 single serve graham cracker crusts on a prepared baking sheet.

Bursting with Lemon Flavor

In the stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest and juice, dissolved lemon gelatin and remaining 1/2 dry lemon gelatin mix. Beat on medium speed until smooth, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl periodically. Pour mixture into a sprouted glass measuring cup. Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture into the pie crusts. Chill uncovered in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight. 

Next, make the topping. In a large bowl, whisk the lemon gelatin mix with the boiling water cup for 3 minutes until dissolved. Pour into 9x9-inch pan. Chill uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. 

In Season Lemons- So Fresh!

Dip bottom of pan of the chilled gelatin in warm water for 30 seconds. Cut 12 decorative shapes using a small cookie cutter. Save remaining gelatin for another use. Decorate the Lemon Cheesecake Tarts with the gelatin shapes and sprinkles. 

For a simple topping, instead of the gelatin, place fruit on the chilled Lemon Cheesecake Tarts.
