Ingredients:
For the Tart Crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
1 egg yolk
1–2 tablespoons cold water
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions
Make the Tart Crust: In a bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly. Mix in egg yolk and cold water gradually until dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough and press into mini tart molds. Poke holes in the base with a fork. Bake crusts for 10 minutes and let cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sour cream. Mix until creamy.
Fill and Bake: Pour the cheesecake mixture into the tart shells. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set. Let them cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Pro Tips:
Brush the top with a thin layer of apricot jam for extra shine.
Top with fresh berries or caramel drizzle for a gourmet touch.
If you don’t have tart molds, a muffin pan works perfectly!
Storage:
Store cheesecake tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individually and thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
