Caramelized Cheese Tart
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (65 g) icing sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) ice water
- ½ cup (105 g) sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (250 ml) milk
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla
- 1 package (250 g) cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¾ cup (180 ml) haskap berry compote
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the flour, icing sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse a few times, until it forms pea-sized pieces. Add the water. Pulse just until the dough starts coming together. Remove the dough from the food processor and knead for 30 seconds or until smooth.
- Press the dough evenly along the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) round, 1-inch (2.5 cm) deep tart pan with removable bottom. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cover the dough with a piece of foil and fill with dried beans or ceramic pie weights. Bake for 18 minutes or until the crust is golden. Gently remove the pie weights and foil.
