Directions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, cold butter in flakes, 50 g icing sugar, egg and salt first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and chill for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, grease the moulds (12 cm long and 5 cm wide) well and dust with flour. Then roll out the short pastry thinly on a floured work surface. Place the ramekins on the surface and cut out with a knife (1/2 cm wider and longer than the ramekin, approx. 13 cm long, 6 cm wide).

Bake in a preheated oven (electric: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 8-10 minutes without opening. Remove dry peas and baking paper and continue baking for about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then immediately turn out of the baking trays. Let cool on a cake rack. In the meantime, peel the melon and cut into wafer-thin slices. Stir cream cheese, 50 g icing sugar and vanillin sugar until smooth.
