My elder sister Sara and her husband is coming to our place in CA from Bangladesh for an entire week. I will be meeting them after 6 long months!! I was perplexed about what to bake for them as a welcome dessert. Later, I came up with the idea of blueberry tart. Can't wait to share a slice with my sister! <3
Blueberry Cheesecake Tart
Ingredients:
For Base:
1. Vanilla Wafers- 1 box (11 oz), I used the one with cream and sugar included so did't add any additional sugar in the base.
2. Butter- 1/3 cup, melted
For Filling:
1. Cream Cheese- 4 oz (buy a 8 oz box and use half of it)
2. Whipping Cream- 3 tbsp
3. Sugar- 1 teaspoon
Topping:
1. Fresh or thawed blueberries (recommended fresh): 1 package *You can use any kind of berry or fruits*
2. Sugar- 1/2 tbsp (or taste wise)
3. Water- 1/3 cup
For baking: 9 inch pie pan
Process:
1. Crush the wafers with hand and add the melting butter. Now put it onto the 9 inch baking pan and press the crumbs gently alongside the pan. This should look like this. I have added some white chocolate chips just to bind them together. This is optional. Bake this tart crust now for 5 minutes at 475 degrees. Rest is aside to completely cool.
2. Now in a bowl, add the whipping cream, cream cheese and sugar and blend them together until they form a peak.
3.Using a spatula, now gently pour the mix over the cooled crust. This should look like this:
Rest the tart now in fridge for an hour to set.
4. Now it's time for preparing the filling. Take 1/3 of the blueberries and in a saucepan, add sugar, water and the taken blueberries for making a thick syrup. Leave the remaining blueberries in a bowl for the later use.
5. After making the syrup, mix it with the remaining blueberries. Now you can pour it over the cooled tart, using a spoon.
6. For best results, rest the tart in fridge for an hour and serve it with whipped cream and a hint of mint. It remains edible for the next 2/3 days.
Enjoy!
