1. What do you know about cheesecake tarts? 

Cheesecake tart is a dessert originating from Hokkaido, Japan, and has gradually spread to various countries. This 'irresistible' tart captivates diners with its crust made from flour and butter, resulting in a soft, fragrant base. Most notably, the smooth, creamy cheese filling inside.

Tarts can be enjoyed hot right after baking to fully savor the warm, delicious taste of cheese. Additionally, many people prefer to chill the tarts in the fridge, where the cheese layer sets into a refreshing, cool delight, perfect for summer.

In Vietnam, there aren't many specialty tart shops; they mainly appear in bakeries or more renowned places like the KFC fried chicken chain. The price of each tart is also relatively high. However, with the cheesecake tart recipe below, you can easily showcase your culinary skills right in your own kitchen!

How to Make Tart Crust

Step 1: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a mixer until the mixture becomes crumbly

Step 2: Add egg yolk and milk, continue mixing with the above flour mixture. If the dough is too wet, add more flour; if too dry, you can add a little water. 

Step 3: Once the dough mixture forms a flat surface, knead it until smooth. After the dough is smooth, roll it out thinly to a thickness of about 4-5mm. 

Step 4: Use a circular mold to divide into 12 equal parts. Place the divided dough into the tart shells. Use a fork/knife to press the base down. Making cheesecake tarts this way will ensure they bake evenly, without puffing up.

Step 5: After completing the 12 portions of tart dough, refrigerate them for about 10 – 15 minutes. 

Step 6: Bake the tarts in the oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes until they are light golden brown. Let them cool completely before adding the cheese tart filling. 

How to Make the Cheese Tart Filling 

Step 1: Put all the ingredients: cream cheese, Mascarpone cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and unsweetened milk in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients together and then place them in a double boiler until the cheese in the bowl has completely melted. It's recommended to use a glass pot lid for easy observation inside.

Step 2: Mix cornstarch and 1 egg yolk, vanilla, strain through a sieve and then add to the mixture just steamed above, stir well and continue steaming for about 7-8 minutes. 

Step 3: Transfer the steamed cheese tart filling into a bowl, let it cool, then refrigerate to chill. 

How to Add Cheese Tart Filling into Tart Shells

Step 1: Take the tart crust and egg tart filling from the refrigerator. 

Step 2: Transfer the egg tart filling into a pastry bag (preferably with a round tip). Then, fill the tart crust molds with the egg tart filling. Pour the filling about 0.5cm below the edge of the crust for a more visually appealing tart. 

Step 3: Spread a thin layer of egg wash prepared on the surface of the tart crust. 

Step 4: Place the cheesecake tarts in the oven and bake for about 5-6 minutes until the surface of the tart is golden brown. 

4. Finished Product
