Party Dessert: Blackberry Supremes - cjs - 09-08-2012 These are great little tidbits for a party - home or catering. Just one bite (or like me, 2 bites...... ) For the winery last night we placed one on each napkin for handing out and this worked perfectly. Gave out about 40 recipes also, they were all gone - recipes and goodies. Blackberry Supremes Tarts: 15 oz pkg. piecrust -------- Filling: 1/3 cup cold water 2 Tbs cornstarch 1/2 cup sugar 2 Tbs unsalted butter, cut in pieces pinch of kosher salt 1 pint blackberries 1 Tbs crème de Cassis ------ Garnish: 3 oz cream cheese 2 Tbs butter, softened 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup powdered sugar Tarts: Unfold piecrusts; press out fold lines on a lightly floured surface. Cut piecrusts with a 2 1/2 inch star-shaped cutter and fit into lightly greases miniature muffin pans. Bake at 380°F for 4 minutes; rotate pans in oven and continue baking 4 more minutes. Let rest in pans 5 minutes then turn out on a cooking rack. Filling: In a heavy saucepan, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch; add the sugar and continue whisking until sugar is incorporated. Add the butter pieces, salt and blackberries and bring to a boil over moderate heat. When mixture begins to thicken, turn the heat to low and whisk continuously for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the crème de cassis. Allow the mixture to cool and use to fill the tarts. If you prefer a smoother filling (which makes it easier to pipe into the tart shells), transfer the filling to a food processor and pulse a few times to break up the berries. Topping: With a mixer, cream the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla; add the sugar a little at a time and keep the mixer on low to incorporate into the cream cheese mixture. To finish the tarts: Spoon or pipe the blackberry mixture into tart shells; pipe or dollop with cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with addt’l powdered sugar, if desired. Yield: Makes 20 tarts ------------- The tarts can be made up to 2 days ahead and the filling 1 day ahead. So, makes for a nice put together dessert at the last minute.
