Cheesecake Tart

Dragonfruit-Pomegranate Cheesecake Tarts

Ingredient List:

2   8 oz bricks of cream cheese at room temperature

1 can sweetened condensed milk

4 Tbsp heavy whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

1 box shortbread tart cups ( I bought tart cups for this dessert, alternatively you could make a graham cracker crust and use a lined mini muffin tin, see my previous blog post https://kaceytess.com/2013/07/25/no-bake-raspberry-cheesecake/ )

Toppings:

1/2 dragon fruit

Blueberries

Pomegranate seeds

Sliced almonds

Method:

Place shortbread cups on a baking sheet

With an electric mixer blend cream cheese until soft and whipped (about 2-3 minutes)

Add sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing

Add whipping cream and mix until thoroughly combined and creamy (about 2 minutes)

Add vanilla and almond and mix until just combined

Scoop cheesecake mix into a ziplock bag, cut a corner out and squeeze mixture into shortbread cups

In a different ziplock bag spoon 1/2 dragon fruit into bag and squeeze until soft, cut a corner out of the bag and squeeze a dime size amount on to each tart

Top with blueberries, pomegranate and almond slices

Cover baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours

You can also freeze these tarts and let defrost in the fridge the night before you are ready to use

Enjoy!
