CRANBERRY TART

Category: Tarts

1 cup cranberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp orange juice
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
4 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1 oz white chocolate, melted (optional)
Butter-flavor cooking spray

In a saucepan, combine first 3 ingredients. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until cranberries pop and the mixture thickens slightly, stirring frequently. Set aside.

In a food processor, combine cream cheese and next 4 ingredients. Process until smooth, scraping sides as necessary. Set aside.

Spray a 9 inch tart or pie plate with cooking spray. Spray 1 sheet phyllo dough with cooking spray. Fold the sheet in half crosswise to form a rectangle, about 13x9 inches. Gently press the folded sheet of phyllo into the prepared tart pan, allowing ends to extend over the edge of the pan. Spray with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining sheets of phyllo, layering in the pan to form a crust.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the crust, spreading evenly. Spoon cranberry mixture over cream cheese mixture and use a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake 20-25 minutes or until phyllo is lightly browned and the filling is set. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and chill 4-24 hours. Just before serving, drizzle with melted chocolate.
