Homemade Hanjuku Cheese Tart 日式半熟起士塔
Gosh, I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. See, I’m still keeping the tart packaging after so many months. haha…. And finally, made this !!! Here is some nice review regarding our local famous & best seller Hanjuku Cheese Tart, click here to read. I remember I bought two boxes of these from Lavender Bakery City Mall and cost me around RM66.00, which is RM33.00 per box of six. I spent at least RM150.00 that day on Hanjuku cheese tart, Hanjuku cheese cake, puff pastry cream horn & some breads. Hubby said I am insane. haha…. At the end, my kids & I polished off everything on the following day. He is speechless. Thanks to QL Kitchen for the inspiration. My Hanjuku cheese tart tuns out beautifully.

(1) combine flour, almond mealed, sugar, salt into a big bowl then stir well.
(2) add in butter and rub till fine crumb is formed.
(3) finally, stir in egg yolk and mix till soft dough is formed.
(4) take a small amount of dough and press it to a muffin cups then prick the base of the pastry with a folk.
(5) now, keep chilled for 30 minutes and then bake at preheated oven at 170′C for about 10 minutes.

1 TB parmesan cheese powder
40gm icing sugar
70ml heavy cream
40gm butter
20gm evaporated milk ( I omitted )

(2) then add in ingredients (B) and continued stirring till well cooperated.
(3) leave to cool then transfer to a pipping bag and keep chilled for 30 minutes.
*Egg glazing : 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tspn milk
TO ASSEMBLE :
(1) when ready, fill each pastry crust with cream cheese filling then brush on egg glazing, make sure the egg glazing is well spread.
(2) finally, bake at preheated oven 220′C for 10 minutes or till the top crust turns brown.
I am glad the cheese filling turns out fantastically even without the milk. But if with the evaporated milk, I think the cheese filling will turns out looking like lava. That will be perfect ! No worries, I will definitely go for another batch.
