NO-BAKE BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE MINI TARTS



No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Tarts image

These two-bite tarts (three if you're daintier than I) are ideal for entertaining - they're perfect finger food, they look great, and they take - I'm not kidding - not even 10 minutes to make. Taste-wise, the filling is just right. Sour cream, cream cheese, whipping cream, lemon zest, brown sugar, and a little vanilla. It's the perfect base for those beautiful bursts of blueberries.

1/4 cup sour cream

About 1/2 cup blueberries (45 blueberries, rinsed and dried)

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 All Ready Pie Crust (half of 15-ounce package), room temperature
1 teaspoon all purpose flour
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2-pint basket blueberries
2 to 3 fresh nectarines, pitted, thinly sliced into wedges
1 1/2-pint basket fresh raspberries
1/4 cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Unfold crust on work surface. Press out fold lines; if crust cracks, press together to seal. Rub crust with flour. Arrange crust, floured side down, in 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold excess pastry in, forming double-thick sides. Bake until brown, about 15 minutes (crust may crack in places). Cool.
  • Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons amaretto, and almond and vanilla extracts in large bowl until blended and smooth. Spread cheese mixture in prepared crust. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
  • Mound blueberries in center of tart. Arrange nectarine slices in ring around berries. Place raspberries at outside edge. Stir apricot preserves in small saucepan over low heat until melted. Mix in remaining 1 tablespoon amaretto. Brush glaze over fruit topping. Refrigerate up to 2 hours.
