Ingredients

Tart Crust:

• 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (66 g) powdered confectioner’s sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 large egg, cold and beaten

Filling:

• ⅔ cup (157 g) heavy cream
• 6 oz (170 g) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup (66 g) powdered sugar, divided
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ lbs (680 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced

Directions

Tart Crust:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of powdered confectioner’s sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt; pulse to mix.
2. Add Butter: Add ½ cup of cold cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Incorporate Egg: Mix in the beaten egg until the dough begins to cling together. Remove the dough, form it into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
4. Prepare the Crust: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9” tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, prick with a fork, and freeze for 30 minutes.
5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and pie weights, and bake for 20 minutes until golden. Allow the crust to cool completely.

Filling:

1. Whip Cream: Whip ⅔ cup of heavy cream, half of the powdered sugar (¼ cup), and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to stiff peaks.
2. Blend Cream Cheese: In another bowl, blend 6 oz of softened cream cheese with the remaining ¼ cup of powdered sugar and ⅛ teaspoon of salt until smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
4. Assemble the Tart: Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust. Top with 1 ½ lbs of hulled and sliced strawberries before serving.
