Ingredients
  

Tart Crust:
  • 1 ½ cups 190 g all-purpose flour (for the base structure of the tart)
  • ½ cup 66 g powdered sugar (for sweetness in the crust)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • ½ cup 113 g unsalted butter cold and cubed (provides a rich buttery flavor)
  • 1 large egg cold and beaten (helps bind the crust)
Filling:
  • cup 157 g heavy cream (whipped for lightness)
  • 6 oz 170 g cream cheese softened (adds creaminess to the filling)
  • ½ cup 66 g powdered sugar divided (used in both filling and whipped cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract enhances flavor
  • teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 1 ½ lbs 680 g strawberries hulled and sliced (fresh fruit for topping)

Method
 

  1. Combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixed.
  2. Add butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add egg and pulse until dough forms. Remove from processor, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
  4. Roll dough into a 10-11” (25 cm) circle on a floured surface. Press into a 9” tart pan and prick with a fork. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges are golden. Allow to cool completely.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, half of the powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the remaining powdered sugar and salt until combined.
  8. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Spread over the cooled tart crust.
  9. Top with fresh strawberries just before serving.
