For cheese filling:
- 1 egg yolk (grade A/size: L)

- 60 g (1/4 cup) dairy whipping cream
Other ingredients:
- 170 g homemade strawberry jam (Please refer: How to make strawberry jam)
Instructions:
Preparing the crust:
1 Combine butter, margarine and icing sugar, beat over medium speed until light and fluffy.
2 Add in egg gradually, mix until well blended. (Reminder: Lightly beat a whole egg, then measure out 35 g of egg.)
3 Sieve in flour and milk powder, mix well (add in some extra flour if the dough is too sticky).
4 Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F.
5 Put some dough into tart mould (7-cm), cover with a piece of cling wrap, top with a smaller tart mould (6.5-cm), press down to fill dough into the larger mould.
6 Trim the extra dough off, pierce the bottom with a fork to create some holes, then arrange on wire rack or baking tray.
7 Bake in the preheated oven at 190°C/375°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
Preparing cream cheese filling:
1 Egg custard: Mix together egg yolk, milk and plain flour, strain into a sauce pot. Cook over medium-low heat until thickened. Set aside to cool.
2 Sprinkle gelatine powder over plain water, set aside to soak for 10 minutes. Cook soaked gelatine over medium-low heat until melted. Set aside to cool. (Reminder: The strength for gelatine powder is 200 blooms.)
3 Mix together cream cheese and sugar, beat over low speed until smooth. (Reminder: Cream cheese must be at room temperature. If it is cold, it can’t be beaten until smooth and creamy.)
4 Add in egg custard and melted gelatine, mix until blended.
5 Whip dairy whipping cream until soft peak, add to cream cheese mixture, fold until combined. (Reminder: Use stainless mixing bowl for whipping. Keep both mixing bowl and whisk in freezer for 30 minutes to chill them up before using.)
6 Put the cream cheese filling into piping bag.
Making Strawberry Cheese Tarts:
1 Fill baked tart crusts with cream cheese filling, top with strawberry jam, then swirl with wooden stick to create some pattern.
