Creamy cheesecake filling in shortbread crust, topped with canned pears and cinnamon. Delicious and simple dessert!
Ingredients:
  • cooking spray
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.66666668653488 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold salted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pear halves in juice, drained
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with the rack in the center. Grease a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until well mixed. Add the butter and continue pulsing until the dough just starts to come together.
  • Press the dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge as you prepare the filling.
  • Blend smooth cream cheese in a food processor. Mix in sugar until well combined. Add egg and vanilla extract, blend until smooth. Spread the creamy filling over the chilled crust and top with pear halves.
  • Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the pears.
  • Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue baking until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is almost firm, for an additional 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack for around 20 minutes. Then, gently glide a sharp knife around the edges to detach the springform ring. Let it cool to room temperature before enjoying.
