Holiday season, good food season. If you want to have some fresh and delicious dessert after a rich dinner, fruit tart can be a good way to indulge yourself .
For crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons cold water
For filling cream
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large egg, beaten lightly
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For dashing jelly
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon water
For raspberry on top
- 2 packages raspberries
Take a bowl for the dough. Make sure all ingredients are well blended. Then, make the dough a ball and wrap the ball by plastic wrap. Put the wrapped ball in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degree. Take the dough out after 1 hour. Use the dough to make the crust. You can use imagination here to have a nicely done crust (e.g., fold, pattern).
Put the crust into oven and bake it for 30 min. In the meantime, you can prepare the filling. Mix the filling nicely. Then, pour the filling to the cooked crust. Then, put the crust back to the oven and continue to bake it for 20 min.
You can prepare the dashing jelly and raspberry when the crust is baking. I don't like my tart too sweet. So, I will deliberately reduce the sugar amount a bit. If you are a sugar person, you can increase the sugar amount from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup. The result will still be fantastic.
I like this tart recipe very much. It becomes my signature.
