Ingredients
Makes 6 x 3-inch mini tarts or one 9-inch large tart
Combine - In a food processor, combine the flour, almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
1¼ cups All-purpose flour, ¼ cup Almond flour, 2 tbsp Powdered sugar, ½ tsp Salt
Dough - Gradually add the vanilla extract and egg yolk while the food processor isrunning. Pulse some more. Then, add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
½ cup Unsalted butter, 1 large Egg yolk, 2-4 tbsp Ice water
Chill - Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Shell - Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles slightly larger than the tart pans (3-inch tart pans) using a round cutter or a sharp knife. Press the dough into the tart pans, trimming any excess dough from the edges. Chill the tart shells while you make the filling.
Preheat your oven to 375°F /190°C / Gas Mark 5.
Cheesecake filling - In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
4 oz Cream cheese, 4 oz Sour cream, ½ cup Heavy cream, ½ cup Powdered sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1 large Egg, ¼ cup Cornstarch
Fill - Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the prepared tart pans. Sprinkle the chopped strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries evenly over the cheesecake filling in each tart pan.
¾ cup Strawberries, ¾ cup Raspberries, ¾ cup Blueberries
Bake - Place the tart pans on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheesecake filling is set.
Cool - Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully remove the tarts from the pans.
Garnish - Dust the tops of the tarts with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh berries before serving.
Powdered sugar, Fresh berries for garnish
