About this recipe
Chocolate and Cream Cheese Tart Thermomix TM7 recipes bring together two favourites in one impressive dessert: deep dark chocolate and gently tangy cream cheese. If you have been searching for an all-in-one kitchen machine solution for a festive dessert, this tart is a wonderful candidate. The TM7 melts the chocolate and unsalted butter with soft heat control so nothing scorches, while the built-in scale weighs the plain flour and granulated sugar directly into the mixing bowl, saving washing up. The butterfly whisk aerates the eggs for a lighter filling, and even mixing produces a silky batter without lumps. Serve it at a birthday table, a Sunday family lunch or a dinner party where you want a slice that looks patisserie-made. A few fresh berries and a dusting of cocoa turn this homemade tart into a true showpiece with remarkably little hands-on work.
Preparation tips
- Use dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage for a deeper flavour that balances the sweetness of the granulated sugar; milk chocolate makes the filling noticeably sweeter and softer in structure.
- Let the tart cool completely in the tin before slicing so the cream cheese and chocolate filling sets properly; wipe the knife between cuts for neat, patisserie-style portions.
- Bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before starting; cold ingredients can cause the melted chocolate to seize and leave streaks in the filling. A splash of vanilla or orange zest adds extra depth.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the cream cheese with a lactose-free alternative and use plant-based butter; the dark chocolate filling stays just as velvety and the tart remains suitable for lactose-intolerant guests.
- Festive winter version: add a pinch of cinnamon and a grate of orange zest to the filling, then finish with clementine segments and a dusting of cocoa for a Christmas-worthy chocolate and cream cheese tart.
