Author Notes: Easy dessert to whip up quickly on a weeknight or even a weekend party —Oh Sweet Day!
Serves: 6
Ingredients
-
1
piece thawed puff pastry, around 6×10 inches
-
1
egg, lightly beaten
-
1/3
cup granulated sugar
-
4
ounces cream cheese, softened
-
2
tablespoons heavy cream
-
2
tablespoons powdered sugar
-
2
cups sliced fresh strawberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Roll the puff pastry to enlarge it a little bit. Roll the boarders inward to create a dent. Use a fork to poke holes all over the centre.
- Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg, and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar over the centre.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs up and turns golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
- Use a hand-held mixer to combine cream cheese and the remaining sugar until well mixed. Add heavy cream and mix until combined.
- Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the centre of the cooled tart. Top with strawberries.
- Store in refrigerator. Sprinkle powder sugar before serving.
