Description

Turtle Cheesecake Tartlets are so simple to make. Mini cheesecakes with chocolate chips, pecans and garnished with caramel and more chocolate. 

Ingredients

Scale

BUTTERMILK CRUST

  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup cold shortening
  • 5 to 7 tablespoons cold buttermilk

CHEESECAKE FILLING

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons caramel topping, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. CRUST: In a medium bowl, whisk flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or long-tined fork cut in shortening until the mixture becomes crumbly about the size of small peas. Add buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time and combine dough until the mixture leaves the sides of the bowl.
  2. Form pastry dough into a ball and flatten into a disk shape on a floured surface. Cover with plastic wrap and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. FILLING: Heat oven to 450°F. Roll chilled dough onto a floured surface enough to cover the bottom and to the rim of 8 tartlet pans. Place and press into pans. Reroll extra pastry scraps if necessary.
  4. Evenly divide 1/2 cup of chocolate chips amongst the tartlets and sprinkle onto the bottom of each crust. Bake for 6 minutes. Using the back of a wooden spoon, immediately and gently press down any air pockets. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons caramel topping and egg until well blended. Pour evenly over partially baked crust covering the chocolate chips. 
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheesecake is set.  Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  7. In a small bowl, microwave on HIGH 1/2 cup chocolate chips and oil for 30 seconds, stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until melted, stir.  Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled tartlets. Sprinkle pecans and drizzle with remaining caramel topping.
