Ingredients
For the Crust:
8 3/4 ounces graham cracker or Biscoff crumbs
2 1/2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt, to taste
For the Filling:
16 ounces plain, full-fat cream cheese
5 1/4 ounces sugar
3/4 ounce fresh juice from 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight
12 ounces heavy cream
To Serve:
12 ounces fresh fruit , washed and dried
Directions
Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl, then stir in a pinch of salt to taste. Sprinkle into a 9-inch tart pan or pie plate, spread into an even layer, then compress firmly with a flat-bottomed drinking glass or measuring cup; this will naturally push the crumbs up the sides of the pan. Keep pressing until the crumbs are in a compact, even layer across the bottom and sides of the pan. Refrigerate until needed. .
Top with fresh fruit and cut into wedges with a hot chef’s knife, rinsing the knife under hot running water between slices. Carefully slide a pie server under the crust, making sure it reaches all the way to the tip of the wedge .
