This Velvety Raspberry Cream Cheese Tart is the perfect balance of rich, creamy filling and tart, juicy raspberries, all nestled in a buttery, flaky crust. With a luscious texture and a hint of sweetness, this elegant dessert is ideal for brunch, special occasions, or a simple treat at home.
Ingredients
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese for a rich and creamy texture.
- Raspberries: Fresh raspberries for a tart and juicy contrast.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar to sweeten the filling and powdered sugar for a delicate finish.
- Pie Crust: Pre-made pie crust or phyllo dough for easy preparation.
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a tart pan, pressing it gently to fit. Trim any excess and pre-bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
-
Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
-
Assemble the Tart: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pie crust. Gently place fresh raspberries on top, pressing them slightly into the filling.
-
Chill & Set: Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
-
Garnish & Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For a no-bake version, use a graham cracker crust and let the tart chill for 4 hours instead of baking.
- Frozen raspberries can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the tart before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
