Directions

90 min
  1. 1

    Prepare the tart shell following Recipe ID: 17667998, then blind bake it in a 170℃ oven for about 25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bring 100g of cream cheese to room temperature to soften. Sift 20g of cake flour and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 40g of ★granulated sugar and mix until smooth. Add 2 large egg yolks and then 20g of cake flour, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    In a saucepan, combine 200cc of milk and 1/2 vanilla bean (add both the seeds and the pod) and heat over medium heat. Once the edges begin to bubble, remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Pour the warm milk from step 4 (removing the pod) into the mixture from step 3, and stir until fully combined.

  6. 6

    Strain the mixture through a sieve back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring slowly and continuously, until thickened.

  7. 7

    Once thickened, remove from heat, stir in 1 tsp of kirsch, and allow to cool.

  8. 8

    In a separate bowl, whip 50cc of heavy cream with 5g of ★granulated sugar to about 80% stiff peaks.

  9. 9

    Fold the whipped cream from step 8 into the custard from step 7 to make the cheese custard. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for the best result.

  10. 10

    Pour the cheese custard into the baked tart shell and smooth the surface with a spoon.

  11. 11

    Pipe whipped cream on top if desired, arrange fresh fruit, and dust with powdered sugar to finish.

Tips

The vanilla bean is optional — the tart will still taste delicious without it. You may have leftover cheese custard, which is also wonderful sandwiched between bread slices or cookies.
