This strawberry cream cheese tart recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
There’s nothing better than fresh local strawberries, right?
I eat strawberries all year round and enjoy them, but there’s simply no comparison to freshly picked berries from a nearby field, and I have to say… I’ve never had better strawberries than those in my old Michigan hometown. The sweetness was incomparable.
But enough pining for mitten berries… let’s just grab what we’ve got and let’s make a strawberry cream cheese tart!
First, the crust gets baked and if it poofs in the oven, show it who’s boss and gently un-poof it.
Once it cools off, you’ll fill it with a sweetened cream cheese mixture.
Then you’ll cut up lots and lots of fresh strawberries.
And place them round and round the cream cheese-filled tart pan.
Finally, brush some red currant jelly all over the berries. Seedless is best, but if you can’t find it… regular red currant jelly will do in a pinch. I don’t mind the seeds a bit so I often just go ahead with them.
The jelly really makes the pie glisten without resorting to a strawberry cornstarch sauce. (But you could…)

I didn’t think it could get better than strawberry pie and then you added a cream cheese layer <3
Laura Ari says
My favorite dessert is a strawberry pie. Not strawberry rhubarb, but just strawberry. My grandmother used to make it in the summer with fresh whipped cream on top.
