Instructions
Crust
Combine crust ingredients in a medium size bowl. Use room temperature butter as it is easier to work with.
Work the butter and egg into the flour until it comes together by hand. A lot depends on the moisture content of the flour. If the dough is too dry and flaky, pour a little bit more water over the mixture. If it still sticks to the bowl or onto our hand after ten minutes of kneading then add a bit of more flour to it.
Put it onto a slightly floured surface. Flatten dough with a rolling pin into a circle shape.
Place it into a pie dish, press it evenly and poke it with a fork.
Place some weight on it.
Put it into the 350°F / 180°C preheated oven for at least 10 minutes for a lightly colored crust.
Filling
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. Beat cream cheese and sweetener of choice until creamy.
Add the chopped strawberries and beat until fully incorporated.
Beat cream and lemon juice until hard.
Fold cream cheese and cream together. Keep it in the fridge until needed.
Topping
Slice the strawberries up or just simply rinse and pat them dry depending on what kind of decoration we like to apply on top of the tart.
Assembly
Pour the filling into the tart crust.
Decorate it with the strawberries. Keep it in the fridge until served.
