Red, White, and Blueberry Cheesecake Tart

Ingredients

  1. 6 graham crackers (2 1/2 by 5 inches each)
    1/3 cup whole almonds
    1 1/4 cups sugar
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    2 bars (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
    1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
    1 large egg
    1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    Pinch salt
    4 red plums (1 to 1 1/2 pounds total), halved, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 pint (2 cups) blueberries

Directions

  1. Make crust: preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a food processor, grind graham crackers, almonds, and 1/4 cup sugar until finely ground; add butter, and process until moistened. Transfer to a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Using the base of a dry measuring cup, press mixture firmly into the bottom and up sides of pan. Freeze at least 15 minutes.
  3. Make filling and bake: carefully wipe processor blade and bowl clean. Place cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt in food processor; blend just until smooth.
  4. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet; fill with cheesecake mixture.
  5. Bake until filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer tart pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, make topping: in a medium saucepan, combine plums, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook at a rapid simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is jamlike and moves around pan in a single mass when stirred, 15 to 25 minutes (time will depend on ripeness of fruit). Reserve 1 tablespoon cooking liquid (no solids) for blueberries; cool remaining plum mixture.
  7. Assemble tart: leaving a 1-inch border, spread cooled plum mixture over tart. Reheat reserved plum liquid (on stove or in microwave) until liquefied. In a medium bowl, combine with blueberries, and scatter on top of plum mixture.
  8. Chill until ready to serve, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Remove from pan before serving.

Serves 8.
