1 piece
thawed puff pastry, around 6x10 inches

1
egg, lightly beaten
-
1/3 cup
granulated sugar
-
4 ounces
cream cheese, softened
-
2 tablespoons
heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons
powdered sugar
-
2 cups
sliced fresh strawberries
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400F.

Roll the puff pastry to enlarge it a little bit. Roll the boarders inward to create a dent. Use a fork to poke holes all over the centre.
-
Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg, and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar over the centre.
-
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs up and turns golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
-
Use a hand-held mixer to combine cream cheese and the remaining sugar until well mixed. Add heavy cream and mix until combined.
-
Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the centre of the cooled tart. Top with strawberries.
-
Store in refrigerator. Sprinkle powder sugar before serving.
