Blueberry-Cheesecake Tartlets
Crust
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ sticks cold butter, 6 ounces, cut in small pieces
- 1 lg egg
Cheese filling
- 2 pkg cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 c white sugar
- 1 1/2 t lemon juice
- 1 t vanilla extract
- sour cream
Berry topping
- 3 c washed, fresh blueberries
Make the Crust
- Lightly spray an 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up (just in case any of the filling bubbles up over the top) if desired.
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse, with 10 second pulses, until dough starts to form clumps. This will take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. Stop as soon as the mixture clumps and turn out into a tart shell. Don't worry if it seems quite powdery at first. It will take longer than a regular pie crust dough. Just keep pulsing until it begins to clump.
- Using your fingertips, press dough evenly up sides of pan and onto the bottom.
- Prick the dough lightly with a fork.
- Cover with plastic wrap or foil and place in refrigerator for 1 hour. This will help keep the crust from shrinking when it hits a hot oven.
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Place tart on prepared sheet pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely.
Make the filling
- In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, white sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Scoop out by tablespoons and coat the bottom of the baked crusts about 1/4\" thick. (Alternatively, you can use a pastry bag and pipe in the filling.)
Assemble
- Sprinkle a single layer of blueberries over the top of each tartlet.
