Grape Cheesecake Tart Recipe
Grape is the most beautiful fruit of autumn. Its freshness is generally consumed either as compote or raw. Desserts are not served. But when it comes to my creativity, such prejudices cannot stand before you. I don't know how it comes from green grapes, but black grapes were created for cheesecake.
But keep in mind that these are not huge, thick-skinned black grapes sold in the market. I used tiny, thin-skinned seedless grapes. But it's okay even if it's core. Since the seeds of the tiny grapes are also tiny, they can be eaten crispy. But if this crispness will bother you and it is not possible to find tiny seedless grapes, you can also use blueberries instead.
The color of the grapes doesn't matter, you can use any color, but the pink-purple grapes look better visually.
