Ingredients:
- 8 graham crackers
- 1/4 cup golden brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). 🕒
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and golden brown sugar until they form coarse crumbs. 🥄
- Add the unsalted butter and continue processing until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. This helps ensure an even and well-formed crust. 🥯
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the crust is firm to the touch. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. 🧑🍳
-
Make the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. 🎛️
- Add the sour cream, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. Ensure the filling is smooth and even. 🌟
-
Chill and Assemble:
- Refrigerate the tart until the filling is firm, which should take at least 4 hours. For best results, you can prepare this tart a day in advance. Simply cover it and keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve. 🕓
- Just before serving, arrange the fresh raspberries decoratively over the top of the chilled filling. 🍇
-
Add the Finishing Touches:
- In a small bowl, whisk the raspberry jam until it reaches a loose consistency. Drizzle this jam over the raspberries to add a touch of shine and sweetness. 🍓
- Serve immediately or chill for up to 3 hours before serving for an extra refreshing treat.
