weights or dried beans.

  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the crust cool completely.
  • Step 3: Prepare the Filling

    1. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
    2. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
    3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
    4. Spoon the cream filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.

    Step 4: Assemble the Tart

    1. Arrange the sliced strawberries beautifully on top of the cream filling in a circular pattern.
    2. For a glossy finish, gently warm the apricot jam in the microwave or on the stove, then strain and brush it over the strawberries for a subtle, sweet glaze. This adds a beautiful shine and keeps the berries fresh.
