Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

How to Make Raspberry Cream Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the dough forms a crumbly but cohesive texture.
  3. Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to cover the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. Spread the cream filling evenly over the cooled tart crust.
  8. Top the tart with fresh raspberries, arranging them artistically for a stunning presentation.
  9. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen raspberries may become mushy.
  • Chill the tart for longer if possible; this helps set the filling nicely.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute other berries like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a layer of lemon curd beneath the cream filling for a zesty twist.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend for the crust.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast.
  • A drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
  • Fresh mint leaves to enhance the tart’s visual appeal and flavor.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This tart is best enjoyed cold, so there’s no need to reheat.
