Simple Strawberry Tart Recipe
I got a little adventurous and made a Simple Strawberry Tart recipe! Yum, right? It is perfect for summer dessert!
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 prepared pie crust I used a refrigerated pie crust, cuz ain't no one got time for that...if you DO have time for that, this is a great recipe for a homemade pie crust
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds strawberries hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup grape jelly
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and place your pie crust dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom. The removable bottom is key because it makes it so much easier to take the tart out of the pan!
- Lay the pie crust dough over the tart pan and press it down into the form, making sure that you press the sides up alongside the pan. You want that pretty crinkle on your tart crust, it's half the fun! Use a fork to prick little holes all over the bottom of the pie crust and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Pour into the tart pan, spreading evenly. Layer the strawberry slices all over the cream cheese filling.
- Heat the grape jelly over medium heat until liquefied, then pour over the top of the berries. Refrigerate for about two hours so that the jelly completely sets over the berries.
