A beautiful golden tart made with buttery filo pastry, creamy cheesecake filling, and sweet Ocean Garden strawberries. Crispy, creamy, and perfect for sharing.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Melt the butter and lightly grease a tart mould.
One by one, gently scrunch the filo pastry sheets and place them inside the tart mould to create a crinkled effect.
Brush generously with melted butter.
Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden.
Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake filling. Whisk together:
- Cream cheese
- Cream
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Lemon zest
- Salt
Cut the strawberries into small pieces and fold them into the mixture.
Remove the tart from the oven.
Using a spoon, gently flatten some of the raised filo sections in the centre and pour in the cheesecake filling.
Return to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is just set in the centre.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Dust generously with icing sugar.
Serve with extra strawberries, fresh mint leaves, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
