Not frangipane, but rather the creamy old-fashioned stuff. Many thanks in advance! Fri Dec 08 21:51:12 -0800 2006 44074 verona 1 2084304 I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but by Googling I found this. I find a lot of good recipes that way! To be honest, I've not come across this sort of topping for mincemeat tarts here in the UK, but I'm fairly new. Verna's Mincemeat Tarts Verna Lien is second to no-one for supplying classic family recipes. 14 oz. pkg. cream cheese 1 egg, beaten 1⁄2 c. sour cream 1⁄4 c. grated lemon peel 1⁄4 c. rum 1⁄4 c. granulated sugar 1⁄2 tbsp. flour Mincemeat Unbaked tart shells Soften cheese. Add beaten egg and beat until smooth. Blend in sour cream. Add lemon peel and rum. Mix sugar and flour. Add to cheese mixture and mix well. Place about 1 tbsp of mincemeat into tart shells. Cover with cheese mixture. Bake at 375F for 20-30 minutes. Makes 11⁄2 dozen large or 2 dozen small tarts..
