Shortcrust pastry baskets go well with curd cream. For a layer, I suggest using jam or thick jam, and for decoration - fresh seasonal berries. Strawberries and currants are perfect, especially if you use jam from the same berries so that the tastes overlap. Since the cream is quite dense, the baskets keep their shape well, do not get wet, which prolongs their shelf life. Dessert can be prepared in advance and decorated with berries before serving, which is very convenient for children's parties.

Total time: 60 minutes / Cooking time: 30 minutes / Yield: 10 pcs.

Ingredients

for the test

• wheat flour - 250 g
• butter - 125 g
• sugar - 2 tbsp. l. with a slide
• vanilla sugar - 1 tsp
• salt - 0.5 tsp
• baking powder - 0.5 tsp
• chicken egg - 1 pc.

For filling

• berry jam - 2 tbsp. l.
• cottage cheese - 350 g
• sugar - 2-3 tbsp. l.
• sour cream - 2 tbsp. l.
• cornstarch - 1 tsp
• berries - 150 g

Cooking

I mix all the dry ingredients: flour, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder (the last ingredient is usually not added to the shortbread dough, but here the tartlets will be baked with a wet filling, so there is a sense of additional baking). In a bowl with dry ingredients, add butter, chopped into pieces, cold, you can directly from the refrigerator. And quickly rub it into crumbs.



I drive in an egg (small), which will bind the crumbs.



I knead the dough - I work quickly, otherwise the shortbread dough will turn out tough.



I shift the bun into a bag and lightly roll it with a rolling pin - a thin layer will cool faster and better. I send it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.



I cut the bag and lay out a layer of dough on a work surface dusted with flour. I roll it out to a thickness of about 3 mm, so that the baskets turn out to be thin. I cut circles from the dough - larger than the molds. I fill the forms with dough (it is convenient to press along the contour with chopsticks for sushi). It is not necessary to grease the molds with anything, since there is enough oil in the dough and it will not stick, the tartlets will be easily removed. Moreover, if they are lubricated, they can settle and “slide” along the walls.



I prick the bottom of each piece with a fork so that the dough does not swell. Place the molds in the freezer for 15 minutes while the oven preheats. I send the frozen dough to a hot oven and bake at 180 degrees for no more than 10 minutes, until half cooked.



In the meantime, I'm making the cream cheese frosting. I combine and beat with a blender: cottage cheese (high fat content), sour cream, sugar and starch. At the bottom of the baskets I spread 1 teaspoon of jam or jam. And I fill it with curd cream - it is most convenient with the help of a pastry bag.



I return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes. Be guided by the readiness of the baskets, they should be browned around the edges, the curd cream will thicken, but not completely, it will tremble slightly in the center (the cream will harden when cooled).

The tarts should be completely cool. Before serving, I decorate the baskets with berries and mint leaves. Happy tea!

The dough for these baskets with curd cream and grapes is quite simple to prepare, but you can use any other recipe for making shortcrust pastry baskets. Or simplify your task to a minimum by buying ready-made shortbread baskets in the baking department or a package of shortbread dough.

If you decide to cook baskets at home, it will not take much time. In a blender bowl, mix butter (it is better to get it 15 minutes before cooking from the refrigerator) with flour and 2-3 tbsp. powdered sugar.

You should get bread-like crumbs.

Add a spoonful of ice water and bring the dough together. You may need a little more water, but it is better to add it gradually so that the dough does not turn out sticky. If you accidentally overdo it with water, put the dough directly in the bowl in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Grease the molds for tartlets with oil and lay out the dough, press it with your fingers to the bottom and sides. Prick with a fork so that the tartlets do not deform during baking. Put in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Then bake the blanks at a temperature of 170 degrees for about 20 minutes.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream.

I used ready-made sweet vanilla-flavored curd mass, but you can use baby cheese or cottage cheese, which must be rubbed through a sieve twice.

Beat with a mixer the curd mass with cream until a homogeneous cream is obtained. If it does not seem very sweet, you can add a little powdered sugar. But be guided by the sweetness of the grapes, I have a very sweet sultana. In addition, do not pour in all the cream at once, curd can be of different density, so the consistency of the cream needs to be adjusted: it should not be too liquid so that the baskets do not get wet.

Fill the recesses in the baskets with cream. It is convenient for me to do this directly in the molds.

Cut the grapes into halves and lay on the cream. Small grapes can not be cut.

Prepare jelly for pouring cakes according to the instructions on the package. Add powdered sugar. Be careful, it freezes very quickly, so you need to act quickly.
