Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange store-bought mini tart shells on a baking sheet. If making your own, roll out dough and press into muffin tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Peel and dice the ripe peaches into small chunks. Gently fold the diced peaches into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each cooled tart shell with the peach and cream cheese mixture.
