blueberry cheese tarts!

new recipe.
yep, blueberry cheese tart.
something i usually make for parties and stuff
quite simple but very tedious!
it took me two hours! phew~
this is a slightly modified recipe (just the measurements), after many trial and error. cos i find that i always had too much filling.

ingredients & method
for the sweet pastry
187 gram butter
90 g sugar
1 egg yolk (use a big egg)
375 g all purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoon water
3/4 teaspoon vanilla essence

cream butter, sugar and vanilla.
add egg yolk and water then continue creaming for about 2 minutes
lastly fold in the flour and ensure it is mixed evenly
grease the tart moulds with butter (so that its easier to remove after baking)
and press out the pastry (might take some time to master it. the pastry must not be too thin, or it might break easily. neither should it be too thick, there won't be space for the filling then. so try, try and try again!)
bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees celcius

for the filling
250 g cream cheese (at room temperature)
20g butter
60 g sugar
1 egg

blueberry pie filling
glaze (optional)

cream cheese, butter and sugar until fluffy
add egg and beat till well mixed

to assemble:
spoon the cheese filling into the baked tart moulds
add some blueberry pie filling and swirl it with a toothpick to create a pattern!
spread some glaze on top
bake for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees celcius

and viola~ you have yummy blueberry cheese tarts!


can use any size moulds. smaller ones are cuter of course but takes lots of time and patience!
grease, press out the pastry, put the filling and the topping!


dissolve the glaze over hot water


happy baking! =)
