Black And Blue Cheesecake Tart Recipes

ROSE CHEESECAKE TART

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Pulse the shortbread cookies and salt together in a food processor until fine crumbs form (you should have about 2 cups). Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan and, using a measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool.
• For the filling: Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons warm water in a small microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine, then set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. Microwave on high, stirring every 10 seconds, until completely melted.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, orange zest and salt in a food processor and process until the sugar has dissolved and no lumps remain. Add the melted gelatin and process until the gelatin is incorporated and the mixture is completely smooth.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the cheesecake is just set but still soft, about 30 minutes.
• For the rose: Peel the mangoes using a vegetable peeler. With a very sharp knife, carefully cut each mango in half, tracing your knife around the pit. Slice the halves lengthwise as thinly as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. Halve the plums and remove the pits. Slice the halves as thinly as possible, about 1/8 inch thick.
• Fan out small stacks of about 6 to 7 mango slices into 8-inch-long strips. Arrange around the outer edge of the tart, leaning the slices upright against the crust. Overlap the strips slightly, making two rings of mango. Fan out a stack of about 6 to 7 slices of plum into 6-inch-long strips. Arrange the plum slices inside the innermost ring of mango, repeating with additional slices to create a ring of plums. Repeat with the remaining mango and plum slices creating alternating rings until you reach the center. Shingle 4 slices of mango to form a 4-inch-long strip; tightly roll it up and place it in the center of the cheesecake to create a rose bud.
• Refrigerate uncovered for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours. Drizzle with honey before serving.

CHEESECAKE TART WITH RASPBERRY SWIRL

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the tart pan with canola oil.
• Add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter to a medium bowl. Mix until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to the tart pan and press into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Cover the crust with a piece of parchment paper and weight with pie weights or dried beans. Set on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Let cool before removing the parchment and pie weights.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the raspberry jam and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, whisking, until the jam has thinned to a smooth consistency. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Add the ricotta to a food processor and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the cream cheese and sugar and blend for another minute. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and blend for 30 seconds. Add the eggs and yolk and blend until smooth and combined, about 1 minute. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake batter. Pour the remaining batter into the tart shell.
• In a small bowl, combine the thinned jam with the reserved cheesecake batter and mix until well blended. Dollop the jam mixture by the teaspoon onto the top of the cheesecake batter in a random pattern. Using a steak knife, swirl the preserves into the cheesecake batter. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200 degrees and bake until the center is set, about 35 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

BLACK AND BLUE CHEESECAKE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter and graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the mixture holds together when pinched. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, and press evenly along the bottom and about halfway up the sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Combine 1/3 cup of the sugar, the sour cream and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer), beat until smooth. Add the lemon zest, vanilla and eggs, and continue to beat until incorporated. Pour into the cooled tart shell and bake on a baking sheet until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour up to overnight.
• About 30 minutes before serving, toss the berries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, mash slightly with a wooden spoon and let sit at room temperature. Spoon the berries and collected juice over the tart. Serve.

CHEESECAKE TART WITH BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make the crust: Pulse the flour, pecans, sugar and salt in a food processor until the pecans are finely ground. Pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice-cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together.
• Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk, wrap and refrigerate until slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Put the dough in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and press into an even layer over the bottom and up the sides. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Place the tart pan on a baking sheet. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust begin turning golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights and continue baking until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Make the filling: Whisk 1 cup milk, the egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 2/3 cup milk and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. While whisking, slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble and is very thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, then whisk in the cream cheese, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust and refrigerate until set, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Make the topping: Toss the berries, sugar and sherry in a bowl and let sit at room temperature, 20 minutes. Top the tart with the berries.

BLACK & BLUE BERRIES CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F.
• Crust:Melt Butter in the microwave for about 25-30 sec or until melted.
• In a bowl, pour in Graham Crackers and add the melted butter. Mix it around with your hands until all the crackers are coated with butter. You will know when the crust is ready when you squeeze a chunk of it and it holds it self. When your crust it ready, get your 8" Pie Pan and spread your crust all around as desired. Then bake this for 10-15 minutes or until it gets a littler darker and cool.
• Cheesecake: On a large bowl, cream the cream cheese and the sugar together. After, add the beaten eggs slowly until all of it is incorporated. Pour the batter to the cooled crust, and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the batter holds doing the shake test. When it is done, remove from the oven and cool.
• Topping: Using a sauce pan and on medium heat, add the berries and sugar. Let the sugar dissolve, then stir. Too make sure its done, look for a smooth consistency from the glaze. Then cool.
• Whipped Cream (optional): On a large bowl, add your heavy cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar and beat. Beat until you get your desired consistency.
• Putting it together: Get baked cheesecake and add the topping over it, making sure all the cheesecake is covered. I suggest put the berries on first then the remaining glaze. Then cool, and enjoy.
• With Whipped Cream: After cooling, add the whipped cream, and enjoy.
