Sweet Tart for Your Sweetheart
Ingredients
- Crust
- Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (9 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
- Filling
- Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions
- Crust
- Place a rack in the lower third of the oven. Pre-heat the oven to 350*.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter with the sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and mix just until blended. Set aside for a few minutes to firm up. Press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 10-or-11- inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. (You can also use two 9-inch pie plates, or use 4 to 6 smaller tart pans.)
- Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Filling
- Beat cream cheese until smooth; add sugar and whipped topping. Spread evenly over cooked crust.
- Topping
- Spread your favorite Rare Bird Preserve or Rare Bird Lemon Curd evenly over the filling. Top with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings.
