Quick Cheesecake tarts

First things first. I'm having a horrendous time with blogger lately. I cannot get the Compose screen to let me type anything. I'm doing it all in the html screen and I'm not able to format there. I'm using IE 8. So apologies. For tonight's Golden Ears Writers group, I had promised mini cheesecakes. But to do them properly, I need two hours. There's parchment paper involved and the special pans and the crust to be made, yatta yatta ya..... I know, right. 20 frozen tart shells on cookie sheet baked for 12 minutes at 375 degrees. 500 grams of Island Farms Cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of roasted pecan syrup, 1 tsp granulated white sugar, 1 egg, Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Take tart shells out and drop teaspoons of cream cheese into tart shells. Take 1 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and 4 tbsps of granulated white sugar and microwave for 2.5 minutes at 70% power. Stir several times during this time. Put a spoonful on each cream cheese filled tart. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Let cool.

Double thick pork chops, stuffed with wild rice, celery, onions, broccoli, plus apple and dried cranberry poached in Terremana tequila. Double baked potatoes with smoked aged cheddar and roasted garlic. I sliced 3/4 of the way through. Mixed the cooked wild rice with the sautéed diced onion, celery and broccoli florets. Then added the poached apple slices and cranberry. Let it cool a bit first. Then 3 large spoonful of stuffing spread in the sliced chop. Gently squeezed the edge together and held it with 3 toothpicks. Once they were cooked at 375 for 30 minutes, then broiled on high for 3 minutes for browning, I removed the toothpicks before plating. Baked the russet potatoes, scooped out the insides. Mixed that with 2 tablespoons of butter, shredded double smoked aged cheddar, topped with Beimister cheese.
