Blackberry Vanilla Hazelnut Tart

Savor the delightful combination of fresh blackberries, creamy hazelnut spread, and a smooth vanilla cream cheese filling in this elegant tart.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
• 1 cup fresh blackberries

Instructions

1. Make the Crust: In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until crumbly. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
3. Roll Out Dough: Roll chilled dough into a circle larger than the tart pan. Transfer it to the pan, pressing it in. Trim excess and prick the bottom with a fork.
4. Blind Bake: Line with parchment paper and fill with weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
5. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread hazelnut spread over the cooled crust, then top with the cream cheese mixture.
6. Add Blackberries: Arrange fresh blackberries on top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
