Ingredients

For Filling:

2 pints of blueberries

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

zest of one lemon

Rich Cream Cheese Dough:

1⁄2 cup (4 ounces) chilled cream cheese, cut into 6 pieces

1⁄2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus extra for shaping

1⁄4 cup sugar

1⁄8 teaspoon salt

large egg yolk, lightly beaten for brushing rim of the crust

Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, to serve

Directions

Makes 1 large free-form tart crust or 4 small tart crusts.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the cream cheese, butter, 1 cup flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Process until the dough just comes together. It will be a little sticky. Refrigerate the crust for 1 hour or wrap the baking sheet in plastic and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours until you are ready to use it.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a round baking sheet/pizza pan with parchment paper and set aside.

On a floured surface, roll pastry out to about a 12 inch round. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.

In a large bowl, combine blueberries with sugar, lemon zest, flour and cinnamon. Mound berry mixture in center of the pastry. Fold edges over of pastry over berries, pleating to make a circle. Brush with egg (and sprinkle with sugar, if desired).

Bake for about 20-30 minutes, or until crust is golden and the berries begin to release their juice. Let cool for 5 - 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

I have a bunch of very large strawberries, which I thought about stuffing and some blackberries,,,would go well in a crostada. Hmmm.
Good idea!
