BLACK AND BLUE CHEESECAKE TART



Black and Blue Cheesecake Tart image

Anthocyanins are responsible for the red, blue and purple pigments found in fruits and vegetables. They are part of the flavonoid family and certain foods, such as blueberries, are packed with them. Anthocyanins are recognized for their antioxidant powers, fighting the cellular damage brought on by free radicals in the body, and some studies suggest that they may help improve memory.

Red, White, and Blueberry Cheesecake Tart image

Steal focus from the fireworks with this splashy Fourth of July dessert.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 graham crackers (2 1/2-by-5 inches each)
1/3 cup whole almonds
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 bars (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch salt
4 red plums (1 to 1 1/2 pounds total), halved, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 pint (2 cups) blueberries

Steps:

  • Make crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, grind graham crackers, almonds, and 1/4 cup sugar until finely ground; add butter, and process until moistened. Transfer to a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Using the base of a dry measuring cup, press mixture firmly into the bottom and up sides of pan. Freeze at least 15 minutes.
  • Make filling and bake: Carefully wipe processor blade and bowl clean. Place cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt in food processor; blend just until smooth. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet; fill with cheesecake mixture. Bake until filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer tart pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make topping: In a medium saucepan, combine plums, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook at a rapid simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is jamlike and moves around pan in a single mass when stirred, 15 to 25 minutes (time will depend on ripeness of fruit). Reserve 1 tablespoon cooking liquid (no solids) for blueberries; cool remaining plum mixture.
  • Assemble tart: Leaving a 1-inch border, spread cooled plum mixture over tart. Reheat reserved plum liquid (on stove or in microwave) until liquefied. In a medium bowl, combine with blueberries, and scatter on top of plum mixture. Chill until ready to serve, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Remove from pan before serving.

JULY 4TH RED, WHITE AND BLUE CHEESECAKE



July 4th Red, White and Blue Cheesecake image

While drops of food coloring will enhance the layers of this patriotic July 4th cheesecake, its stripes are tinted naturally with seasonal flavors: red raspberry, white vanilla bean and blue blueberry. The fresh blueberry topping is held together with just enough gelatin to give it a gorgeous, glossy look and to make it easy to cut. In order to achieve the clean layers you'll need to have some time to let each one set, so plan in advance. It is super easy and completely worth the extra time to present such a fun dessert at your holiday party.

Time 9h25m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

10 whole graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
Pinch salt
4 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 vanilla bean
1/4 cup blueberry preserves
1 drop each blue and red food coloring, if you want to boost the color of your stripes
1/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon gelatin
1/2 cup simple syrup (boil 1/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup water until sugar dissolves)
1/2 cup blueberry preserves

Steps:

  • To Make the Crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch springform pan or cake pan with parchment.
  • In a food processor combine the graham crackers, butter, sugar and salt, until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or just until it starts to turn golden brown. Cool the crust completely, then freeze the crust.
  • To Make the Cheesecake Batter:
  • Cream together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and cornstarch, until very smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Divide the batter equally into 3 bowls. Add the raspberry preserves and a drop of red dye to one. Add the scraped vanilla bean to the next. Add the blueberry preserves and blue dye to the last bowl.
  • Pour the red layer over the frozen crust and return to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the batter is slightly firm to the touch. While this layer is chilling, place the other bowls of batter in the freezer to allow them to set as well.
  • Once the red layer feels thick, but not frozen solid, very carefully pour the white batter over the red. Do this very slowly, in small amounts, so that it doesn't break the surface of the red layer. Freeze the pan again for about 20 minutes. Check to make sure the blue batter isn't setting too firmly in the freezer; if it is, move it to the refrigerator.
  • Turn the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Add the blue layer in the same careful way. Place the pan on a baking sheet. Place in the oven, then pour hot water in the baking sheet, which will help the cake bake evenly. (If you are using the springform pan, you will need to cover the bottom of the springform pan with foil, to prevent any water from seeping in). Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or when it is set in the middle.
  • When the cake is set in the middle, remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours.
  • Run a hot knife blade around the edge before removing the cake from the pan. If you are using a regular cake pan, you will need to heat the bottom quickly over the stove, then cover the top with plastic, invert onto a plate and finally transfer to the serving platter. Refrigerate the cake while you make the topping.
  • In a small bowl add the gelatin to the cold water, stir to combine and allow to bloom for several minutes. Once the water has absorbed all the gelatin, add it to the hot simple syrup. If you made the simple syrup ahead, heat it. Add the blueberry preserves and transfer to a clean bowl to cool.
  • Once the glaze has come to room temperature, it will thicken, but still be pourable.
  • Place the blueberries on top of the cake.
  • Pour the thickened glaze over the berries. It will run down the sides, which I think is quite pretty. Refrigerate until the glaze has set a bit. If you prefer clean sides, use a hot metal spatula to scrape the excess off the sides (this is very easy to do).
  • Use a hot blade to cut the cake to keep the stripes distinct, and enjoy!

1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons Splenda granular
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the graham cracker crust. This will ensure that the crust is evenly ground and well-combined.
  • Press the crust firmly into the bottom of the tart pan. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking when you bake it.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. This will help to set the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Let the crust cool completely before you add the cheesecake filling. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. This will help to ensure that the cheesecake filling is smooth and lump-free.
  • Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture, as this can cause the cheesecake to be dense.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. You can use a toothpick to check for doneness. The toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cheesecake.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before you refrigerate it. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This red, white, and blueberry cheesecake tart is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can use different types of berries or even chocolate chips in the filling. You can also decorate the tart with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. No matter how you choose to serve it, this tart is sure to be a hit.
