Tarte Au Fromage With Lemon Cream And Blueberry Compote Recipes

BLUEBERRY LEMON CREAM TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a baking sheet on middle rack.
• Stir together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and butter in a bowl with a fork until combined well, then press mixture with your fingers and back of a spoon evenly and firmly onto bottom and up side of each tart pan. (If using ramekins, press mixture 3/4 inch up sides.)
• Put tart pans on preheated baking sheet and bake crusts until slightly darker, about 10 minutes, then cool 10 minutes on a rack. (Ramekins will need to cool an additional 5 minutes in refrigerator.) Gently push bottom of each tart pan to loosen crust, then invert crust onto your hand and place on a serving plate. (If using ramekins, leave crusts in ramekins.)
• While crusts cool, whisk together brown sugar, sour cream, and vanilla in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, then add sour cream mixture and zest, beating until just combined well.
• Divide cream cheese filling among tart shells, spreading evenly, then top with blueberries and dust with confectioners sugar.

LEMON CAKE WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the lemon cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla.
• Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with two additions of milk and lemon juice and beating until just combined after each. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the cake layers from the pans and wrap in plastic wrap to cool completely.
• For the blueberry compote: Meanwhile, bring 1 cup of the blueberries and the sugar, lemon juice and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries burst and the liquid thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries and let cool.
• For the buttercream: Wipe the bowl of a stand mixer with a paper towel dampened with lemon juice, to remove any trace of grease.
• Add the egg whites and sugar to the bowl, and cook over a pot of simmering water, whisking constantly but gently, until hot and the sugar has dissolved. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and begin to whip until the meringue is thick and glossy, and the bottom of the bowl feels room-temperature to the touch, about 10 minutes. Switch to the paddle attachment and, with the mixer on low speed, add the butter cubes 1 at a time until incorporated; then mix until silky smooth. Add the vanilla and salt, continuing to beat on low speed until well combined. Slowly add up to 1/2 cup blueberry compote, mixing until the desired texture is reached.
• To assemble: Top a cake layer with blueberry compote, then top with the remaining cake layer. Frost all over with the buttercream. Serve immediately, or refrigerate and bring the cake back to room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

BLUEBERRY STRAWBERRY COMPOTE OVER LEMON TARTLETS

Steps:

• For the compote: Place all compote ingredients into a medium pot. Cover and cook on low until strawberries break down and sauce thickens, about 30 minutes. If using a slow cooker, cook on high setting for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• For the lemon tartlets: In a large bowl, combine all tartlet ingredients, except crusts.
• Using an electric mixer beat on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Spread lemon mixture into mini pie crusts. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or until set.
• Serve warm compote over chilled tartlets.

CREPES WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a blender, add all the crepe ingredients. Blend till smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• While the batter rests, start the compote. In a saucepan, add the blueberries on medium heat and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and water. Stir and cook until hot and bubbly. Then, reduce heat to medium low, stirring occasionally until set.
• To make the crepes, lightly brush a nonstick pan with butter and on medium heat, add ¼ of the batter. Quickly lift the pan and swirl to the edges, making a circle.
• Cook for about 40 seconds, until the middle begins to bubble and edges begin to brown. Once set slightly, flip over and cook the other side for 40-45 seconds.
• To fill, spread some cream on one end, top with a few spoons of the berry compote, and, if desired, top with additional whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Dough:Mix together flour, sugar, yeast, water, egg yolk, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook until a dough is formed, about 3 minutes. Add butter, and mix until incorporated, about 3 minutes (dough will be sticky). Transfer dough to a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature until almost doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down dough, cover, and let rise 30 minutes. Refrigerate dough, still in bowl and covered, until firm, about 2 hours.
• Punch down dough. Roll out into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a buttered 9 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough up to rim of pan. Prick dough all over with a fork, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise 30 minutes.
• Filling:Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lowest position. Whisk together 3/4 cup sugar and the flour. Whisk together farmer cheese, creme fraiche, egg yolk, salt, and vanilla; stir in sugar mixture, then butter, with a wooden spoon.
• Beat egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Raise speed to medium-high, and gradually sprinkle in remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until medium glossy peaks form, about 4 minutes. Fold half the egg whites into cheese mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining egg whites.
• Spread applesauce in crust, and pour filling on top of applesauce. Bake 30 minutes, then check crust; if it is starting to brown significantly, tent edge with foil. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and filling is puffed, golden, and just set (it should barely wobble when very lightly shaken), about 25 minutes. Let cool, undisturbed, on a wire rack 1 hour. Unmold tart, and let cool at least 30 minutes. Tart is best served slightly warm but can also be served at room temperature.

LEMON-BLUEBERRY TART

Steps:

• Make the candied lemon zest: Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from lemons in vertical strips. Use a knife to remove any white pith; cut zest into thin strips as thinly as possible. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add zest; blanch for 1 minute, drain, and rinse under cold water. In another medium saucepan, combine sugar and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Cook until sugar dissolves completely, about 2 minutes. Add lemon zest. Simmer until translucent, about 30 minutes. Drain zest and let cool on a wire rack. Place superfine sugar in a small bowl, add zest, and toss to coat. Using a fork, shake to remove any excess sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to several weeks.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out pate sucree to a 13-inch round and fit dough into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Trim excess dough around the perimeter with a paring knife. Freeze until firm, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place pan on a baking sheet. Carefully line pastry with parchment paper, pressing it into the corners and edges, and weight with beans, rice, or pie weights. Bake about 20 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and continue baking until crust is light golden-brown, about 15 minutes more. Transfer to a cooling rack. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.

TARTE AU FROMAGE WITH LEMON CREAM AND BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Defrost the puff pastry slightly and unfold it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a paring knife to score a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the pastry. Brush the border with water and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Place the puff pastry (on the baking sheet) back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the pastry from the freezer and bake about 30 minutes, until it's golden brown and cooked through (if you underbake the pastry, the ricotta filling will make it soggy). Remove the pastry from the oven and let it cool.
• Turn the oven down to 325°F.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, and stir in gently to incorporate, without overworking it.
• Remove the top layer of pastry from the area inside the 1/2-inch border. Press down the remaining pastry with your fingers, to flatten it. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the center of the tart. Use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to distribute the filling evenly just up to the 1/2-inch border.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the ricotta mixture is set (look for "Jell-O motion") and just starting to color on top.
• Cut the tart into six squares and garnish with dollops of the lemon cream and blueberry compote.
• Whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and lemon juice in a small nonreactive pot. Cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring constantly (alternating between a whisk and a rubber spatula), until the lemon curd has thickened to the consistency of pastry cream. It should coat the back of a spoon, and when you run your finger through the custard on the back of the spoon, it should leave a clean line that holds its shape even when you tilt the spoon. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season with a pinch of salt, and chill in a nonreactive dish.
• When the lemon cream has chilled completely, transfer it to a bowl. Whip the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks and gently fold it into the lemon cream.
• Place the sugar in a medium pot. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, and use a paring knife to scrape out the seeds and pulp into the sugar. Add 1/3 cup water and bring to a boil over medium heat, without stirring. Cook about 10 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture is an amber caramel color.
• Meanwhile, stir 1 tablespoon water into the cornstarch (this is called a "slurry" and will help thicken the fruit juices).
• When the sugar has reached an amber caramel color, add half the fresh blueberries and the brandy to the pot. The sugar will harden. Cook for a minute or two over low heat, stirring gently, until the berries release their juices and the sugar dissolves.
• Strain the mixture over a bowl, and return the liquid to the pan, whisk in the cornstarch slurry, and cook another minute, stirring often, until it comes to a boil. Transfer the cooked berries to the bowl and stir in the remaining fresh and the dried blueberries. Pour the thickened juices over the berries, and stir to combine.
• You can make the blueberry compote the day before. The lemon cream can be made ahead up to the point when you fold in the cream, which should be done right before serving.
