Mini Cheese Tart

Ever since Su Fong tasted the cheese tart that Rena brought for our gathering, she has been searchingfeverishly for the recipe. I knew she has been waiting patiently for my cheese tart recipe to be published.

My family's taste at times is rather weird, they prefer the cheese tart to be sourish, so much so I have tosqueeze half a lemon juice into the filling to make it appealing, or else they will say the cheese tart is notsour enough, particularly my brother, prompting me to quip.......... hei guys are you eating cheese tart orlemon tart?

Tips for the pastry:

If you are using icing sugar, the pastry will be softer. But if you are using caster sugar, the textureof the pastry will be more crunchy.

For myself I prefer to use caster sugar instead of icing sugar, as I prefer it to be more crunchy & sodo my hubby. Usually, I won't finish eating the cheese tarts in a day, I'll keep them in the fridge &

enjoy them slowly whenever I feel like it. So what I'm trying to tell you in point no.2 is, if you're using caster sugar, the pastry will be

gradually become softer on the next day, don't you think it's a good idea if you're preparing thecheese tarts for tomorrow's party?.

If you're using UHT whipping cream, you will need to increase the sugar, as non-dairy whippingcream that I used was a sweetened whipping cream.

The reason I use cold butter is because the dough won't be too sticky when I shape the tarts.

Method for Pastry:

1. Beat cold butter cubes & caster sugar to become pale in colour. Add in egg yolk & beat thoroughly.2. Lastly, fold in sieved flour & mix into a soft dough. If you find your dough is too sticky, you may

keep the dough into the refrigerator for 20 minutes before making the tart shells.3. Place the tart shells into the pre-heated oven & bake at 170c for 25 minutes.

Method for Cheese Filling:

1. Beat cream cheese, butter & icing sugar until fluffy. Squeeze in lemon juice & beat until smooth.Add in 1 egg & beat thoroughly, now the mixture will become watery, don't be panic, just leave themixture aside.

2. In another clean mixing bowl, whip cold non-dairy whipping cream until stiff . Mix the whippedwhipping cream into the cheese mixture. After mixing in the whipping cream, the cheese mixturewill become thicken & fluffy.

3. Use a piping bag with a nozzle to pipe the cream cheese batter into the baked tart shell.4. Place the cheese tarts into the pre-heated oven & bake at 160c for 15 minutes. Leave the cheese

tarts to cool before keeping them into the fridge.5. After a few hours chilling, use a piping bag to pipe some melted chocolate onto the surface of the

cheese tarts.

Place butter & sugar into a mixing bowl. Beat them to become pale in colour.

Add in egg yolks & beat thorough. Lastly, fold in sifted flour & mix into a soft dough.


3/17

You may chill the dough in the fridgefor 20 minutes before making the tartshell. This is one of the method ofmaking tart shell, place the soft doughonto a plastic sheet.

Cover with another sheet of plastic sheet & rollinto a 5mm thickness flat dough.Remove the plastic sheet on the dough & placethe tart moulds upside down on the doughsheet.

Press the tart mould, as you need to use the tart mould as acutter to cut the dough.


4/17

Cover back the plastic sheet, as you'll need thehelp of the plastic sheet to invert the whole sheet

of dough.

Both hands hold the plastic sheets & invertswiftly.

Remove the plastic bag.

As you can see from the picture, the tart shellsare clearly been cut out from the dough sheet.


5/17

Remove tart moulds from the dough sheet. Repeat the same process for the leftover dough.

The tart shell has been nicely cut out fromthe dough sheet

Prick a few holes on the dough, reasonbeing to release some air from the mould, as

the mould has been filled with dough untilthe brim.


6/17

Now you can start making the tartshell by pressing the dough onto the tart

mould.

This is how my tart shell looks like

This is the second method, divide the doughinto 10gm each.

Slowly press onto the tart mould


7/17

This is how I shaped the tart shell

Place all the tart shell into the baking tray

Wait! before sending into the oven, prick someholes on the tart shell.

This process will prevent the air being trapped inthe bottom of the tart mould.


8/17

After baking at 170c for 25 minutes, the tart shell should begolden brown in colour. Now you can start preparing the cheese

filling.

PlaceCream

Cheese,Butter &

IcingSugarinto a

mixing bowl.

Beat at high speed until fluffy.

Squeeze in Lemon Juice.


9/17

Beat into a smooth & creamy batter

Add in 1 whole egg

Beat them thoroughly, don't be panic if you feelthat the batter is too watery.


10/17

In another clean mixing bowl, whisk the non-dairy whipping cream until stiff.

Transfer the whipping cream into the creamcheese batter.

Use a spatula to mix them up thoroughly, now the waterycream cheese batter will become creamy again.

Transfer the batter into a piping bag with anozzle. Pipe the cream cheese batter into the

baked tart shells.


11/17

Place the cheese tarts into the pre-heatedoven & bake at 160c for 15 minutes.

When the cheese tart filling is baked, the fillingwill be raising up. But after the tart has cool

down, the filling will sink back again.

After a few hours chilling in the fridge, I can start ice themwith a piping bag of melted chocolate.

Now you can start icing the surface with somemelted chocolate.


12/17

When I iced the melted chocolate onto thecold cheese tart surface, the chocolatebecome harden immiediately, that's the

reason I chilled them before the chocolateicing.

I like to serve the cheese tarts when it'schilled
