How to Make Cream Cheese Crostata With Orange Marmalade

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour and ½ cup (50g) granulated sugar. Create a well in the center.
  2. Add 1 large egg yolk and 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the well.
  3. Gently incorporate the butter and egg yolk into the flour mixture using your fingertips until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  6. Roll out the chilled dough and carefully transfer it to the prepared tart pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
  7. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Blind bake for 18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  8. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. **Make the Filling:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese, 4 ounces (113g) mascarpone cheese, and ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled crust.
  11. Chill the crust with filling for 1 hour.
  12. Spread ½ cup (120g) orange marmalade evenly over the cream cheese filling.
  13. Sprinkle with ¼ cup (30g) sliced almonds.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Can be made 1 day ahead.
