Baked, chilled or oozy – we love them all!
By Samantha Francis
Cheese tarts combine the best of what we love — a crunchy baked crust, golden brown crispiness and melty fillings.
With Hokkaido confectionary BAKE bringing its freshly baked cheese tarts to our shores this month, this yummy food trend is only set to grow.
To satisfy your craving, try out these seven bakeries’ cheese tarts:
1. BAKE Inc
Hailing from Hokkaido, these famous cheese tarts ($3.50) are known for their crispy cookie crust and light-as-air mousse filling. The melty filling is made from three types of cream cheese — French cheese, Betsukai and Hakodate.

2. Prima Deli
PrimaDéli’s newly launched Lava Cheese Tart features delicious cheese fillings in a buttery shortcrust pastry. Keeping the options simple, the golden brown Lava Cheese Tart is presented in two flavours: Original ($2.40) and Salted Yolk ($2.80).
From Apr 8-30, enjoy the Lava Cheese Tart Original at $2.00 (U.P. $2.40) and the Salted Yolk Lava Cheese Tart at $2.40 (U.P. $2.80).
Available all PrimaDéli outlets.
3. The Icing Room
Get your cheese tart fix at The Icing Room with their Original and Golden Lava Cheese Tarts ($2). The latter features a pleasantly grainy salted egg yolk filling to complement the creamy molten cheese core. We hear they’ll be launching a Tiramisu Cheese Tart soon!
