Lemon Cream Cheese Tarts

Early in the day:
Beat eggs in medium saucepan until frothy. Add sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, continuing to beat until mixture is thickened. Add lemon juice & peel. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture coats a metal spoon (about 5 min.). Remove from heat. Cut cream cheese into 1" chunks & stir into hot lemon mix until dissolved & blended. Spoon into tart shells. Cover & chill until ready to serve.
