Mix together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan.   Gradually add milk, constantly stirring.   Cook  over medium low heat until mixture is clear and thickened, stirring constantly.   Reduce heat to low; add vanilla.   Cube remaining cream cheese and add to mixture; stir until smooth.   Fill tarts; chill to set.   Top with fruit then serve.   Makes 12 tarts
