I have to say I am usually an Apple Person, I love anything Apple and I adore them Raw. For me they are the perfect snack.

But this year I have been going crazy for oranges,  my mouth waters just looking at an orange.

So when I made my Mom’s Pastry Crust I knew what I was going to make with half of the dough.

Yup, Creamy Orange Cheesecake Tarts.

The first thing I did was I blind baked the tarts.

How to Blind Bake Tarts.

  1. Roll half the dough on a lightly floured flat surface to approximately 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. With a round cookie cutter cut out 6-8 circles.
  3. Place a circle in a each muffin cup (flatten into place with the bottom of a small glass lightly floured)
  4. Trim the excess dough with a sharp knife.
  5. Prick the bottoms of each shell with a fork.
  6. Place a square of parchment paper or a cupcake casing in each shell.
  7. Fill with some dried beans, rice or sugar.
  8. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, then remove the paper and dried beans and bake again for approximately 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

While the tarts were baking, I made the creamy filling. I added my favourite Mascarpone into the mixture because I think it gives it an extra dose of creaminess, and I just love the delicate flavour it gives to fillings.

Orange Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat the whipped cream until stiff.
  2. Beat together the mascarpone, cream cheese, zest, sugar and milk until completely combined.
  3. Then fold in the whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fill the cooled tarts and refrigerate for approximately 4 hours.
  5. These Orange Cheesecake Tarts are the perfect Dessert. Everyone will love them.

I added lots of orange zest because I wanted a very Orange Cheesecake Filling.
