Cheese Tarts

i've successfully attempted baking cheese tarts! woohoo! the self-satisfaction was just overwhelming...

Here's a look at the cheese tarts i've  made..












You can get the recipe from auntyyochana's strawberry cheesetarts.i followed all the measurements given coz it was my first time baking tarts) can make 60 tartlets (it depends on the thickness of the crust) however, mine was coffee and kiwi not strawberry coz i dun have the strawberry jam. you can actually use other jams or can even use fresh fruits if you like.

as for mine, to make the kiwi puree, you just need to smash the kiwi, put it in a pan, add icing sugar( depends on how sweet you want it to be), let it simmer, add some corn flour, simmer and it's done!
as for the marble effect, you just need to put a drop of the coffee mixture( make sure it's not too diluted), use a fork or skewer and swirl around. if you have any doubts, feel free to ask me =)

sounds simple right? it took me almost the whole day from 2pm till 8pm to complete baking and washing up everything. my legs hurt like mad after baking 'cos i was standing most of the time. but i'm  very satisfied as i did everything by myself (yes that includes the cleaning part which i hate the most) That was the first day after my exams that i did not laze in front of that idiot box! the compliments like "yummy", "nice" from those who have tasted my tarts encourage me to keep on baking!


 all in all, it was a day well spent! 
more posts on cookies, cupcakes in the next few weeks =)
