Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to keep it airy and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the tart: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Chill for at least 2 hours until firm.
  6. Decorate with fruit: Arrange sliced strawberries in stripes and fresh blueberries as stars in the upper left corner. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter for neat blueberry stars if desired.
  7. Final chill and serve: Chill the decorated tart for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges before removing the tart pan rim. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Chill mixing bowl before whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill tart overnight for best flavor melding. Use fresh berries for best results. Can substitute gluten-free or dairy-free ingredients as needed.
