Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Assorted fresh fruit (such as strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, and mango)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan and press it into the bottom and up the sides.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the filling into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top.
- Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the filling in a decorative pattern.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of fruits to create a colorful and visually appealing tart.
- Make sure the crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- For best results, chill the tart for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
