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
1. Prepare the Tart Crust
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, blend together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Egg: Mix in the beaten egg until the dough begins to come together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Roll and Chill: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, prick the bottom with a fork, and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden. Let it cool completely before adding the filling.
2. Prepare the Filling
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with half of the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Blend Cream Cheese: In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the remaining powdered sugar and salt until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble Tart: Spread the cream filling evenly over the cooled tart crust. Top with the sliced strawberries just before serving.
