Short history

The tart is a dessert with deep historical roots, appreciated in various cultures for its versatility and taste. This type of dessert has evolved over time, having numerous variations, but the combination of cheese with fruits is one of the most beloved. The Delaco cottage cheese used in this recipe adds a creamy note and a delicate flavor that blends perfectly with the sweetness of the blueberries.

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the crust

1. Melting the butter: Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Make sure not to let it boil, just let it melt completely.

2. Crushing the biscuits: Use a food processor or a package and a rolling pin to crush the biscuits until they become a fine powder. This will form the crunchy base of the tart.

3. Mixing the ingredients: Once the butter has cooled, pour it over the crushed biscuits. Use your hands to mix the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous and slightly moist composition.

4. Forming the crust: Take a tart pan with a diameter of 18 cm and line the bottom with the biscuit mixture, gently raising it along the sides of the pan. This will ensure an even base.

5. Refrigeration: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 2: Preparing the filling

1. Preheating the oven: In the meantime, preheat the oven to 165 degrees Celsius.

2. Mixing the filling: In a large bowl, add the Delaco cottage cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and grated lemon zest. Use a mixer to homogenize the composition.

3. Adding the eggs: Add the two eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This step is essential for obtaining an airy and creamy filling.

Step 3: Assembling and baking the tart

1. Pouring the filling: Remove the tart pan from the refrigerator and carefully pour the cheese mixture over the biscuit crust.

2. Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and let the tart bake for 35 minutes. You will know it is ready when the filling becomes firm and slightly golden on top.

3. Adding the jam: After 35 minutes, take the tart out of the oven and spread the blueberry jam on top. Drizzle with lemon juice to enhance the flavors.

4. Finalizing the baking: Put the tart back in the oven for another 10 minutes. This step will help caramelize the jam, providing a delicious taste.

5. Cooling: After baking, let the tart cool completely in the pan, then carefully remove it to maintain its shape.
