  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 450°F. Place pie crust in 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Press in bottom and up sides of pan. Trim edges if necessary. DO NOT PRICK CRUST. Line crust with heavy-duty foil. Bake 11 minutes. Remove foil; bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until light golden brown in center and dry in appearance. If crust puffs in center, flatten gently with back of wooden spoon. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Cool crust 10 minutes.
