Upon rereading the recipe I realized I had only used half the amount of

cream cheese called for. The tart was still good even though the topping was a little runny. I will try it again with the full amount of cheese. I also hadn't allowed for 8 hours setting time and served the dessert having spent only 5 hours in the fridge. Again, no big deal.

Just thought you might appreciate these comments.
