Instructions for Tart Crust
1. Prepare Wet Ingredients
Whisk the egg yolk, salt, and cold water together until fully combined. Set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, butter, and granulated sugar. Use a Sharp EMS-62 mixer with the dough hook attachment on medium speed. Mix until the texture resembles small pea-sized crumbs.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
4. Shape the Dough
Roll out the dough to a 0.5 cm thickness. Use a 3-inch tart mold to cut out circular pieces. Press the dough into the molds and prick the base with a fork.
5. Bake the Crust
Preheat the Sharp EO-18LP oven to 180°C using both upper and lower heat. Place the tart shells on the middle rack and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Instructions for Cream Cheese Filling
1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base
In the Sharp EMS-62 mixer bowl, beat cream cheese using the whisk attachment at medium speed (level 4) until softened. Gradually add condensed milk and lemon juice while mixing. Set aside.
2. Whip the Cream
Whip the whipping cream at the highest speed until soft peaks form. Lower the speed to medium and fold in the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined.
3. Fill the Tart Shells
Spoon the cream cheese filling into the cooled tart shells, filling about ¾ of each tart. Smooth the tops with a spatula and refrigerate until set.
Final Touches
1. Drizzle the tarts with honey or a lemon glaze for added flavor.
2. Garnish with thin lemon slices, edible flowers, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
