This simple summery Austrian tart is easy to make and tastes fabulous with most fruit. My personal preference is raspberry, because it harmonizes beautifully with the lemon cream, but use your imagination!
Ingredients
- Crust: Scant 2 cups fine flour shopping list
- 2 TBS fine sugar shopping list
- 3/4 cup + 1 TBS cold butter (no substitutes!) cut into small chunks shopping list
- Dash salt shopping list
- Filling: 1 pkg cream cheese, at room temperature shopping list
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or more to taste) shopping list
- juice and zest of 1/2 lemon shopping list
- 2 TBS heavy cream shopping list
- Topping: 2 cups ripe raspberries shopping list
- 1/2 cup seedless red currant or seedless raspberry jelly shopping list
- 1 TBS water shopping list
How to make it
- For Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Mix flour, sugar and salt together in a small bowl.
- Cut the butter in until particles are very fine and mixture sticks together when squeezed with hands, but falls apart easily.
- Form into a ball and chill in fridge for 20 minutes.
- Remove and crumble, then pat firmly into bottom and up sides of a 12" removeable-bottom tart tin.
- Prick all over deeply with a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (watch closely) or until golden but not dark brown.
- Remove and cool while making filling.
- Filling:
- Beat together all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Spread filling into cooled crust and chill until filling is firm, up to 1/2 hour.
- Place washed and dried raspberries onto cream in a pleasing concentric pattern, stem part down.
- Warm jelly with water in microwave until melted but not really hot, stir well.
- Wait until jelly is lukewarm, stir again, then spoon it evenly over berries and chill tart again until removing sides of tart tin and serving.
- You can serve it with whipped cream but that may be overkill-- I find it refreshing just as is!
