Cheese Tart ~
How can you missed the recent craze over the cheese tart, especially when you can do it at home.
​
Living in fast pace environment, you will be encouraged to whip up something at home when there is short cut, so I bought this ready frozen tart from Poon Huat, they are quite mini and cute and good for one mouth bite. And you can always do some cheese tart within half an hour or so and served them fresh out of oven, thats the best time to eat them.
​
Look like these and they are only around 4-5cm width.

Ingredients (makes 12 pcs small tart ~ 4 cm width)
12pcs frozen tart
A.
135g cream cheese
35g mascarpone cheese
15g butter
70g plain yoghurt
20g sugar
​
1/2tsp vanilla essence
1 egg white
​
1 egg yolk + few drop of milk for brushing on top of custard

Direction
1.Place all ingredients A in a pot over low heat, gently stir the mixture until everything is melted. Remove from heat, add vanilla essence and egg white and quickly mix till well blended. Put the pot back into low heat and continue to stir the mixture until slightly thicken and remove from heat. Let the custard cool down and then place in the fridge to cool down further around 30-45min.
2. While waiting, take out the frozen tart from the fridge, poke the bottom of tart with fork to make some little holes. Place them in a baking tray and bake the tarts at 180C for 10min. Remove fro oven and place on wire rack to cool.
3. Preheat the oven to 230C in fan mode.
4. Take out the custard from the fridge and fill it into a piping bag. Pipe the custard into the tart until it completely covered the tart base. Brush custard evenly with egg yolk.
5. Bake the tarts at 230C fan mode, for 7-9min until the top turn golden.
6. Once baked, remove from oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Best eaten when its still warm and freshly out from oven!!!! Taste amazingly good with the melting cheese swimming in your mouth.
