🥧 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Tart:

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch tart crust (or homemade, if you’re feeling fancy!)

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • (Optional) Mint leaves for garnish

📝 Pro Tip: If peaches aren’t in season, you can use canned or frozen (thawed) slices — just pat them dry before topping.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust
    Press your tart crust into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring even coverage along the sides and bottom. Bake or set according to package directions, then let cool.

  2. Make the Filling
    In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice, mixing until creamy. Gradually whip in the heavy cream until you reach a light, velvety texture.

  3. Assemble the Tart
    Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern for a stunning presentation.

  4. Chill
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.

  5. Garnish & Serve
    Top with fresh mint leaves, slice, and serve chilled. Every bite is sunshine on a plate! 🌞

🍦 Serving Suggestions

This tart is dreamy on its own, but you can elevate it with:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍨

  • A swirl of whipped cream

  • A side of fresh berries for extra color

  • A sparkling lemonade or iced tea for a refreshing pairing

Perfect for summer picnics, brunches, or after-dinner elegance.

🧡 Top Tips for Success

  • Pick Perfect Peaches: Choose ripe yet firm fruit for the best texture and flavor.

  • Smooth Filling: Bring cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for a silky consistency.

  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for cozy undertones.

  • Don’t Skip the Chill: Cooling helps the tart set beautifully — patience pays off!

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • No Reheating Needed: Enjoy chilled straight from the fridge.

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling and crust separately a day ahead; assemble before serving for maximum freshness.
