Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, pastry flour, almond flour, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Beat one egg and stir it into the mixture until a dough forms. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough and roll between silicone mats to about 2mm thick. Cut out circles and press into greased muffin pans. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F). Remove shells from freezer, line with parchment and fill with weights. Bake for 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden.
- In a bowl, combine icing sugar and egg yolks, mix in cornstarch. In a saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese, butter, milk, and parmesan. Pour warm mixture into egg mixture while whisking. Cook until thickened, then let cool.
- Fill tart shells with cheese filling, and brush tops with egg wash.
- Increase oven to 220°C (428°F) and bake for 5-10 minutes until tops are caramelized. Let cool before removing from pans.

Notes
For best results, keep the dough cold while working. Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.
