Blueberry Cheese Tarts

Somewhere near my office was a bakery that sells good Blueberry Cheese Tarts as proclaimed by many of my colleagues. However, when I tried it, I seriously don't think it's as good as so many of them claimed. To me, the tart were just ordinary. Wonder what was so good about it.

I decided to try baking Blueberry Cheese Tarts using my homemade blueberry jam. I realised that I'm quite bad at moulding tart shells. I really need some workshop to learn rolling and moulding. The fillings were just enough to fill up the tarts. Truthfully, these blueberry tarts were very good. They were very well received by my family members! tart_blueberrycheese5
