Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For pastry dough: In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil spread, cream cheese, brown sugar, and cocoa powder; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Stir in flour. Press a rounded teaspoon of the pastry dough evenly into the bottom and up the side of each of 24 ungreased 1-3/4-inch muffin cups.
2.
Bake about 15 minutes or until pastry is dry, evenly colored, and set. Cool pastry in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer pastry cups to a wire rack to cool completely.
3.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pudding mix, milk, and almond extract. Whisk for 1 minute. Cover and chill about 5 minutes or until mixture sets up slightly. Transfer half of the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for another use. Fold dried cherries into the remaining mixture.
4.
Generously spoon or pipe cherry-pudding mixture into cooled pastry cups. To serve, top each tartlet with a tart cherry.
