  • 12 filled chocolate cookies (e.g. Oreo)
  • 2 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 1 package Vanilla sugar
  • 75 g Whipped cream
  • 300 g Double cream cheese
  • 125 g Sugar
  • 1 go. tablespoon of starch
  • 1 glass (720 ml) Cherries
  • 1⁄8 l red wine, 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 package Vanilla sugar
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • 2 Star Anise
  • 1 piece(s) Organic orange peel
  • 1 heaped tablespoon of cornflour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Icing sugar
  • 24 Paper baking cups

Directions

  1. 1

    For the tartlets, line the troughs of a muffin tray (12 troughs) with 2 paper baking cups each. Put 1 biscuit in each.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Separate eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff, allowing the vanilla sugar to trickle in. Whip cream until stiff. Mix cream cheese, sugar, starch and egg yolk on a low setting with the whisks of the mixer for about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fold cream and then beaten egg white into the cream cheese mixture in portions.

  4. 4

    Carefully spread the mixture into the hollows on the biscuits. Place the muffin tray on a fat pan (deep baking tray) and pour on enough boiling water to make the muffin tray stand too well 2⁄3 in the water.

  5. 5

    Bake on the lowest shelf in a hot oven for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    In the meantime, drain the cherries for the punch cherries, collecting the juice. Boil up juice, wine, sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise and orange peel in a pot. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Stir starch and 4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Remove orange peel. Stir in starch, bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 minute. Fold in cherries. Let cool off.

  8. 8

    Lift the muffin tray out of the water bath and let it cool down on a cake rack. Lift the tartlets out of the troughs and carefully remove the paper cups. Dust the tartlets with icing sugar and add the cherries.
