What is a cheesecake tart? It's everything you love about cheesecake but in a less intimidating form! We've taken the rich, silky goodness of cheesecake with the fresh, fruity flavors of strawberry and lemon and put it into a shorter tart form that's easier to make. From our Betty Crocker Cookbook 13th edition, we've added chia seed for a trendy twist. We think you'll be just as thrilled as we were at taste panel with its impressive appearance and divine flavor.
