This is a recipe I made up on the fly. I had made a full size German Chocolate Cheesecake and it was very good. People said it was awesome, but you couldn't eat a big piece because it was so rich. So, I decided to modify a popular cheesecake tart recipe and came up with this. I hope you enjoy it.

SERVES 24 , 24 tarts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 24 pecan sandies

  • 1 (15 ounce) can coconut pecan frosting (I use Duncan Hines)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°FF. Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup of a muffin pan.
  2. 2
    Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar, vanilla and coco powder and beat well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. 3
    Place a pecan sandie, top side down, in each muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture over pecan sandies.
  4. 4
    Bake for 17 minutes and allow tarts to cool completely.
  5. 5
    Spread coconut pecan frosting on top of each and refrigerate.
  6. 6
    Enjoy!

I can't believe I didn't rate these. these are so awesome. I couldn't believe how easy these are to make. I brought these to work and people were looking for more. Everyone wanted the recipe. They're definetly better cold. If they sit out too long, they begin to get a little soggy. I will be making these often. Thanks for a great recipe!

    These were really good and very easy to make. I got had some left over mini chocolate chips so I tossed them into the batter. They were quite yummy! The pecan sandies make a great easy crust. The cheese cake itself was really delicious. You could quite easily leave of the German choc frosting and they would still be great. Thanks Brina
