Maids of Honor Tartlets

From Cookery N’Orleans Style

Cream Cheese Tart:

1 8-ounce Philadelphia cream cheese
1 1/3  sticks Parkay margarine
2 ½ cups all purpose flour

Combine all ingredients until well blended.  Cover and chill 2 hours.

Almond Topping:

1 egg white
Dash salt
½ cup sifted powdered sugar
½ cup ground blanched almonds
¼ teaspoon almond extract
Sliced almonds (decoration)

Filling:

Raspberry or cherry jam

Press 1 tablespoon of pastry into each 2-inch fluted tart pan.  Spoon 1 teaspoon jam into each and chill.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a small bowl, beat egg white and salt to soft peaks.  Gradually beat in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time.  Continue beating until well blended and thick.  Stir in ground almonds and extract.  Spoon almond topping over filling in each tart shell.  Decorate with a sliced almond.  Bake 25-30 minutes until topping is puffy and golden.  Carefully remove from pans and cool on wire racks.  Cool completely.

Yield:  26 tarts
