Description
A rich and velvety cheese tart made entirely on the stovetop in a skillet, featuring a unique custard-like texture.
Ingredients
500g cream cheese, room temperature
3 large eggs
150g granulated sugar
200ml heavy cream
15g cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
Butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
Step 1: Beat the room-temperature cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Whisk in the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Step 4: Sift in the cornstarch and add the vanilla extract, then slowly stir in the heavy cream until fully combined.
Step 5: Lightly grease a 10-inch non-stick skillet with butter and pour in the batter.
Step 6: Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook on the lowest heat setting for 25-35 minutes.
Step 7: Once the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle, turn off the heat and let it cool in the pan for 1 hour.
Step 8: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
Always use a very low flame to prevent the bottom from burning. A heat diffuser can be used if your stove runs particularly hot.
