A delightful and visually stunning strawberry tart with a buttery crust and creamy filling.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam, warmed
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add chilled butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk and ice water, pulsing until dough comes together. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Prick with a fork and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden. Let cool.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. Arrange strawberry slices on top in a decorative pattern. Brush with warmed strawberry jam for a glossy finish. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
