Black And Blue Cheesecake Tart Recipes

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.

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.
