Strawberry Cheesecake Tart Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

For the Graham cracker crust:

  • Cups of Graham crackers finely crumbled
  • 4 Tablespoons of butter melted

For the strawberry sauce:

  • Cups of strawberries finely diced and with their tops removed
  • ¼ Cup of sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons of water
  • 2 Teaspoons of lemon juice

For the cheesecake:

  • 8 oz. of cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • ½ Cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup of whipped cream
  • The strawberry sauce

Instructions

  • Form the crust: Combine the crumbled graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl. Pour this mixture into an 11-inch sized tart pan and use either your hands or something flat like a cup to push the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan. Place this in your fridge for 30 minutes to let the crust firm up.
  • Make the strawberry sauce: Get out a small saucepot and add all of the ingredients for the strawberry sauce to it. Stir the ingredients together and place the pot over medium heat. Let the ingredients cook on a low boil for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Once the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon take it off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once it has cooled pour the sauce into either a blender or food processor and blend until the sauce is smooth.
  • Prepare the cheesecake filling: Use either a stand mixer or a mixing bowl with a hand mixer, and beat the softened cream cheese for 2 minutes. Add in the powdered sugar along with the vanilla extract and beat the ingredients for another 2 minutes. Then use a spatula to gently fold in the cup of whipped cream. Follow this up by pouring in the strawberry sauce and fold it in as well.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into your tart pan and use a spatula to smooth out the top. Place it in your fridge for at least 4 hours to set up.
  • Slice up the strawberry cheesecake tart and enjoy!
