Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 0.25 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, ice-cold
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 0.75 cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp (2.5ml) almond extract
- 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, halved
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 cup (150g) fresh raspberries
Instructions:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir until the mixture reaches a sandy texture.
- Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch tart pan and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides using the back of a measuring cup. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and ivory-colored. Stream in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix to maintain aeration.
- Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in concentric circles, starting from the outside and working inward.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the filling is firm to the touch.
