Feb. 26, 2008 - Cheesecake Tart Recipe

I just made this tart again in a class up in Calabassas at Gelson's Cooking Connection.  It is just as rich and delicious as a regular cheesecake but thinner and serves fewer people and oh so simple to whip up! There's less leftover to tempt you the next day!!

 

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESE CAKE TART WITH

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST                                 

Serves 8.

Crust:

1 1/2 cups Nabisco chocolate wafer cookie crumbs

1 T. sugar

4 T. unsalted butter, melted

 

Filling:

2-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

4 oz. white chocolate, chopped 


 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  For crust, stir together the cookie crumbs, sugar and butter.  Press into bottom and up sides of a 9 inch pie plate.  Refrigerate until ready to use.

 

2. For filling, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth with a mixer.  Add eggs and mix until well blended.  Stir in half the chopped white chocolate.  Pour filling into crust and sprinkle with remaining white chocolate.  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until center is almost set and a bit jiggly.  Cool on a rack and then refrigerate 3 hours or overnight before cutting into wedges to serve.
