Strawberry Lemon Curd Cheesecake Tart This Strawberry Lemon Curd Cheesecake Tart is the perfect way to use those fresh summer strawberries. Our favorite way to start our weekend off is with a trip to one of our local Farmer’s Markets. This weekend we headed downtown to the Portland Farmer’s Market and the Oregon strawberries were out in force! My favorite kind is the Hood strawberries. They are so sweet and yummy. I picked up a pint of fresh berries and along with the berries that are ripe in my own garden I made today’s delicious dessert! I love having a berry patch in my own backyard that I can just walk out to and grab a handful of fresh, ripe berries. There is nothing better than a warm, sunripened berry. They just melt in your mouth. I also love the combination of strawberry and lemon. I really love the combination of lemon and just about anything but strawberries is at the top of the list. I experiment with a couple of different ways to make the filling for this tart but decided that the combination of cream cheese, whipping cream and lemon curd was pretty much perfection. The crust is almond flavored butter crust that is baked and then filled with the cream cheese mixture. The lemon curd cheese cream mixture is spread into the crust and then topped with sliced berries. I have these two amazing strawberry tools I use anytime I am working with strawberries. If you love strawberries and you don’t own these two things – you must! They are pretty much life changing when it comes to hulling and slicing strawberries. The strawberry huller and the strawberry slicer are amazing!! Seriously, get yourself one. After I sliced the strawberries and topped the tart with them I warmed up the remaining lemon curd and drizzled it over the top. More lemon goodness. You could also use strawberry jam if you prefer. After it is chilled and set up all that is left to do is, grab a fork!
