Blueberry cheese tart: Because life is beautiful!

 Oh, I miss this kind of sweet! Making something from the idea is so much fun, I wish I can make more of it.




The problem is it takes time (I spent 2 days making it, haha, well most of it was waiting). If I don't have enough time I can't make it. Beside from time, everything is quite easy, because each element is simple, like mousse, pastry, sauce or glaze^^.
It started when my sister bought me a lot of blueberries and she told me that she wanted me to make something from them. I thought about many recipes, but when you have fresh fruit the best way is to cook it less. So, I turn them into a simple sauce, and pair with cream cheese to cheese tart. I wanted it to have a bit of texture so I add the crumble into the tart, and now you can see my tart.
Sometime we forget that we can find happiness in simple thing around us, and yes, food is one of them, haha. I think that eating something beautiful will make you happy too, and when it's the taste that you like, you will be happier. 
Making video clip for this kind of sweet takes so much time ^^", I couldn't make it shorter because I want to show you all the step, and I hope you will like this video too.
