Helpful hints
- If Splenda® no calorie sweetener (granular form) is used, calories are reduced to 96 and carbohydrate is reduced to 6 grams per tart (1/2 Carbohydrate Choice).
- Try low-fat or fat-free cream cheese to reduce the fat content.
- Do not over beat mixture.
- Do not over bake—tarts may appear soft and moist, but will firm up after cooling.
