Ingredients for 2Bleu S Georgia Peach Cream Cheese Tart

  • Phyllo Dough
  • Nonstick Cooking Spray
  • Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
  • Splenda Sugar Substitute
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • Peach Gelatin
  • Fresh Peaches

How to Make 2Bleu S Georgia Peach Cream Cheese Tart

  1. **Prepare the Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a tart pan with a removable bottom (9-inch), layer 6-8 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. **Blind Bake the Crust:** Trim any excess phyllo dough overhanging the pan. Prick the bottom of the phyllo with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
  3. **Cool the Crust:** Remove from oven and let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. **Make the Cream Cheese Filling:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. **Assemble the Tart:** Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled phyllo crust.
  6. **Chill the Tart:** Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
  7. **Prepare the Peach Topping:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 cup (60ml) water until smooth.
  8. **Cook the Peach Topping:** Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 3-5 minutes).
  9. **Add Gelatin (Optional):** If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin that has been bloomed in 1 tablespoon of cold water. Stir until dissolved.
  10. **Add Peaches:** Remove from heat and gently stir in 3 cups (about 450g) sliced fresh or thawed frozen peaches.
  11. **Cool the Topping:** Let the peach topping cool slightly before pouring over the cream cheese filling.
  12. **Final Chill:** Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 more hours to allow the topping to set completely.
  13. **Serve:** Serve chilled. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted slivered almonds, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
