How to Make Strawberry Almond Cream Tart

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
To prepare the crust: Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Mix until just moistened.
Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch round removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray, ensuring it reaches ¾ inch up the sides.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
To prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
To prepare the strawberry glaze: Combine 2 cups fresh strawberries, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool completely, stirring occasionally.
To assemble the tart: Hull and slice 4 cups fresh strawberries. Arrange the sliced strawberries, bottoms up, in a circular pattern over the cream cheese filling.
Spoon half of the cooled strawberry glaze evenly over the strawberries.
Sprinkle ½ cup slivered almonds around the edge of the tart.
Cover and chill for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy! (This recipe also works with a 9-inch springform pan or a 10-inch pie plate.)
