Gently press the dough into the prepared tart pan, making sure it evenly covers the bottom and sides. Trim the excess.
Step 4: Prepare the Molten Cheese Filling
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Blend Well:
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is well combined.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake
Pour the Filling:
Pour the cheese filling into the prepared crust.
Bake:
Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown around the edges and slightly jiggles in the center.
Cool:
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Serve
Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Once cooled, dust the tart with powdered sugar and serve with fresh fruits like berries for extra flavor and color.
Storage Tips
Refrigeration: Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Reheat slightly before serving for that warm, molten texture.
Tips for Success
Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for a smoother filling. Let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before using.
Do Not Overbake: The center should remain slightly soft and gooey—avoid overbaking to preserve that iconic molten texture.
Chill the Crust: Chilling the dough before rolling helps prevent shrinkage and ensures a crisp crust.
