Directions
For the Tart Crust:
- In a food processor, blend the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture reaches a coarse crumb texture.
- Incorporate the beaten egg until the dough starts to cling together. Remove, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

For the Filling:
- Whip the heavy cream with half of the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to stiff peaks.
- In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the remaining sugar and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust, and artfully arrange the sliced strawberries on top.
