Ingredients

  • 1 tart crust or pie crust
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • juice of one lemon
  • mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • 1 10-ounce package of pineberries (white strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Bake the tart shell or pie crust according to recipe directions. Set aside to cool for at least 25 minutes.

  2. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and thoroughly combined. Scoop into tart shell and spread evenly to create a flat surface.

  3. Wash the pineberries and gently pat them dry. Slice off the green ends of each pineberry, then slice each pineberry in half, from top to bottom.

  4. Arrange the pineberries: Begin by laying down a circle of pineberry halves on the outermost ring of the tart with the white/pink exterior facing up. Then inside that circle, lay down a circle of pineberry halves with the white flesh facing up. Repeat with additional circles, alternating pink side up and flesh side up, ending with a single pink half pineberry in the center. Garnish with mint leaves if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
