Ingredients

– 8 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – 1/2 cup powdered (icing) sugar – 1 egg yolk CREAM CHEESE FILLING – 1 cup cream cheese – 3 tablespoons powdered (icing) sugar – 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream – 1 teaspoon corn starch EGG WASH – 1/2 tablespoon milk (or water) – 1 egg yolk

Step 1

Cut the butter into small cubes. Combine flour, sugar, and butter in the mixing bowl and beat them with an electric whisk until crumbs form.

Step 2

Whisk the egg yolk into the mixture, and knead them into a dough with your hand. Keep kneading the dough until smooth.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Step 4

Take a small portion of the dough and press it into a 2.6-inch tart mold evenly. Cut off the excess dough from the edge with a knife and prick the bottom with a fork. (Repeat the exact instructions for the rest of the eight shells.)

Step 5

Bake the shells for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Let the tart shells cool completely before removing them from the molds.

Step 7

Soften the cream cheese at room temperature and mix well with sugar in a bowl. Mix and fold the ingredients constantly until smooth with a spatula. Add the heavy whipping cream to the mixture in 3 portions, keep stirring until well combined. Finally, add the corn starch and mix well.

Step 8

Fill the piping bag with the mixture and pipe it into the shells. Freeze the cheese tarts for 4 hours until firm.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C)

Step 10

Prepare the egg wash by adding a half tablespoon of milk and one egg yolk in a bowl, and whisk vigorously until smooth. Brush the frozen cheese tarts with egg wash.
