Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup cold butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 egg and 1/4 cup water, then press into a 9-inch tart pan to form a crust.
  2. Step 2: Bake crust for 10 minutes, then let cool. In a bowl, mix 3 cups berries, 1/2 lemon juice, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp flour. Spread mixture over the crust, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp sugar.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 30-35 minutes until berries are bubbly and golden. While warm, swirl 4 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp flour into the tart, then return to oven for 5 minutes to melt the swirl.
  4. Step 4: Cool completely, then slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
