Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 250 grams Cream cheese
- 120 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the egg yolk and cold water to the bowl. Mix gently until the dough comes together into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or pie weights. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled tart shell.
Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Arrange them decoratively on top of the cream filling.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and 1 tablespoon of water over low heat until thin and smooth. Brush the glaze over the strawberries for a shiny finish.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
