Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Consider using honey graham crackers for extra sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Choose salted or unsalted depending on preference.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Standard granulated sugar works well.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Make sure it's cold for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla extract.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Let it soften to room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sift if necessary for smooth consistency.
  • 1 medium Lemon Use both zest and juice.
For the Topping
  • 2 cups Fresh Berries Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are classic.

Equipment

  • Tart pan
  • stand mixer
  • medium bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar, mixing until well combined and sandy in texture. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Using a stand mixer, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks begin to form, about 4-5 minutes. In a separate bowl, cream the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, then add lemon zest and juice and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Continue folding until there are no visible streaks remaining.
  4. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust, then artfully arrange fresh berries on top. Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving.
  5. Slice the tart into wedges and present on a beautiful platter. Garnish with powdered sugar or honey if desired.
