Instructions
Cream cheese filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment whip the cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks – set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla extract – combine well making sure there are no lumps. Pro tip - I like to use a whisk to ensure there are no lumps. You can also place it in the mixer bowl with the whisk attachment.
- Fold the whipped cream in the cream cheese mixture. Pro tip - Taste and adjust for sweetness and tang. If necessary add one or 2 tbsp of powdered sugar and 1 to 2 tsp of lemon juice to your liking.
- This cheesecake mixture is ready to use
Blueberry filling
- Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool completely. Pro tip - the filling must come to a boil and it starts to go from opaque to glossy and shiny. That's how you know it is done.
Assemble the tarts
- Transfer filling to a piping bag and pipe a swirl into each tart shell leaving a gap in the middle for the blueberry filling. I've used a 2-inch tart shell. Pro tip - you can also do this with a spoon but the piping bag makes it easier and prettier.
- Using a spoon gently fill the gaps in the center with blueberry filling. Garnish with fresh blueberries
- Enjoy!
