Blueberry Cheese Tart

I am not a certified nor qualified baker. I just love to play around with flour. Occasionally, my hand will feel itchy after browsing through many recipe. I will start baking. Actually I bake with my mood. When my baking mood is back, I can bake every day but when the strong winds blown away my mood, I can stop baking for months. Hahaha........ that's me!

Following were just the blueberry cheese tart that my friend shared with me few years ago. She baked the cheese tart for her eldest daughter charity fun raising at school. I did not have the chance to savour her piece of cheese tart as all sold out during the food charity fair. So my dearest friend gave me a link for this recipe, here.

I love GS Kitchen Mini Cheese Tart recipe as I love the cheese filling where she added lemon juice on it. So the cheese tart came out to be nice. I made some minor changes in the recipe and method for this blueberry cheese tart.

INGREDIENTS FOR PASTRY

150gm - Cold Butter (Cut into cube)

50gm - Caster Sugar

2pieces - Egg Yolk

1/4 teaspoon - Vanilla Essence

250gm - Plain Flour (Sieved)

METHOD:

1. Pre-heat the oven at 170C. 

2. Sieve plain flour and put aside.

3. Beat cold butter and caster sugar to become pale in colour. Add in egg yolk and beat thoroughly.

4. Fold in sieve flour and mix into the dough. (If the dough is too sticky, you can pop into refrigerator for 15-20 mins).

5. Divide the dough into small balls that can fit in your tart shell case. Slowly press the dough into the dough to clockwise direction and trim off the excess dough.

6. Use fork/satay stick to prick few hole.

7. Place the tart shells into the pre-heated oven and bake for 25 minutes.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHEESE FILLING

250gm - Cream Cheese

50gm - Butter (at room temperature)

60gm - Icing sugar (I use caster sugar)

1 piece - Egg

1 tablespoon - Lemon Juice

100gm - Whipping Cream (Cold)

Blueberry Jam (Some)

METHOD FOR CREAM CHEESE FILLING

1. Pre-heat the oven at 160C. 

2. Beat cream cheese, butter and sugar until fluffy. 

3. Add in lemon juice and beat until smooth. 

4. Add in egg and beat till combine thoroughly. Then put aside.

5. In a clean bowl beat whipping cream till stiff. Then mix the whipping cream to the cheese mixture till combine (just use spatula).

6. You can use pipping bag to pipe the cheese batter into baked shell tart. However, I just use spoon to scoop the cheese batter to the baked shell tart.

7. I filled half of the tart with cheese batter and I add 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam into it. Then cover the cheese batter to fill the tart.

8. Place the cheese tart into the pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes.

9. Leave the cheese tarts to cool before keeping them in fridge.

10. After few hours chilling, ready to be served.

Mary's style of Blueberry Cheese Tart

This cheese tart is a good keeper. It can store for many days in the fridge with airtight container. I do some purely cheese. As sometime my princess will shredded some chocolate and put on top of the cheese tart.

Cheese Tart with sweet relish

I would like to try out the sweet relish from a friend as a souvenir. So I put one tablespoon to try it out. Well, I still prefer the normal blueberry cheese tart.
