Have you already eaten all Christmas cookies? I almost have so I need a new cake. With the arrival of new year, many people make their resolutions to live healthier. I´m not one of them, but this Blueberry Cream Cheese Tart could be considered as a half-healthy dessert since it uses cream cheese. It is composed of kneaded dough and creamy filling. One of the best things about it is that its preparation doesn´t take forever, in order to get filling, you basically just mix almost everything together. Since it´s already January and summer is nowhere to be found, I´m starting to have a summer fruit deficit so I must use my summer stocks, whereas frozen or compote. In this tart, I used compote blueberries from summer, just without their juice. Soft cream cheese, sour cream and blueberries are the right combination when you want to remind yourselves of summer, use up summer fruit stocks and not to spend lots of time in kitchen.
