Cinnamon blueberry tart recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 6 tbsp golden caster sugar
  • 375g pack ready-made shortcrust pastry
  • 200g tub soft cheese
  • zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 x 150g punnets blueberries

Method

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Mix together the cinnamon and caster sugar.

  • Scatter the cinnamon sugar over the work surface, then roll out the pastry on top of the sugar, to about the thickness of 2 x £1 coins. Using a large dinner plate, cut out a neat round (approx 23cm is fine) and lift onto the lined baking sheet. Prick the pastry all over with a fork and crimp round the edge with finger and thumb. Chill for 15 mins.

  • Bake the pastry in the oven for 10-12 mins, or until dry and biscuity. Allow to cool completely before carefully transferring to a serving plate.

  • Beat the soft cheese with the orange juice and zest, adding the icing sugar to taste. Spread this over the pastry base leaving a 2.5cm border around the edge. Top the orange cream with the blueberries and lightly dust with icing sugar just before serving.
