Description

This creamy Cheesecake Tart features a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a smooth cream cheese mixture, baked to perfection, and topped with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate for an elegant and delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs

Topping (optional)

  • Fresh berries
  • Chocolate drizzle
  • Fruit compote

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the tart.
  2. Make Crust Mixture: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Form Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan, using the back of a spoon or fingers to create an even crust layer.
  4. Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool while preparing the filling.
  5. Prepare Filling Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until incorporated.
  6. Add Creams and Eggs: Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next to maintain a smooth batter.
  7. Fill Tart: Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake Tart: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly; it will firm up during cooling.
  9. Cool and Chill: Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly and develop the best texture.
  10. Serve: Before serving, decorate the cheesecake tart with fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate, or fruit compote as desired for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Do not overbake the tart; the center should remain slightly jiggly to prevent cracks and dryness.
  • Refrigeration overnight is recommended for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits if preferred.
  • Optional toppings add flavor variety and a decorative touch.
