Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 8 minutes until golden and fragrant, then let cool completely.
- Step 2: Using an electric mixer, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and airy.
- Step 4: Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Step 5: Toss 1 cup sliced strawberries and 1 cup blueberries with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate, then spread the berries evenly over the cream layer.
- Step 6: Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
