How to Make Apricot Cheesecake Tart
- In a blender, combine the graham cracker crumbs and unsalted butter. Blend until the crackers are finely crushed and evenly mixed with the butter.
- Pour the crushed cracker mixture into a tart pan, spread it evenly, and press it down firmly by hand.
- In a small saucepan, add the peeled apricots, light brown sugar, cardamom, and lemon slices. Heat over medium heat until the apricots soften and the sugar dissolves, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Note: Add 2 tablespoons of water if necessary.
- While the apricot mixture cools, mix cream cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat well until soft peaks form.
- Once the apricot mixture has cooled, blend it until smooth.
- Assemble the Apricot Cheesecake Tart:
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
- Add the apricot mixture on top, spreading it in the center and leaving a 2-inch gap around the edges.
- Thinly slice 3 apricots and use them to decorate the tart.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hours to set.
- Note: For best results, refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
