Instructions
In a food processor, pulse flour, salt and cream cheese until small pea-sized pieces form.
Add butter and pulse until the butter breaks down into pea-sized pieces. Do not overmix.
Add orange juice and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the mixture almost gathers into a ball. If mixture is too dry, add remaining tablespoon of ice water.
Pour out into a bowl. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and flatten into a 1-inch disk. Chill for one hour.
Preheat oven to 375o F.
Roll dough out onto a floured surface between 1/8 and ¼ inch thick diameter. Using a 6 inch diameter bowl, cut out as many circles as you can (10-12). Place 3 ½ inch diameter, 1-inch high ring molds onto an aluminum foil covered sheet pan. Spray the inside of each mold with non-stick cooking spray and rub around the inside of the mold. Place a circle of dough into each ring mold, fluting the sides of the dough so it looks the petals of a flower. If you do not have enough ring molds, you may have to make these in batches.
In a large bowl, whisk all filling ingredients until well blended.
Pour enough filing into each tart shell until it fills the tart 3/4ths of the way. Bake tarts for 35-40 minutes or until centers are only slightly jiggly. Filling will firm up as it cools.
