Cream Cheese Tart (no bake)

No Bake Cream Cheese Tart

Spring is around the corner and this is really easier than it looks to make.

Ingredients
1 cup graham crackers (crushed)
1 cup ginger cookies (crushed)
3 tablespoon sugar
8 tablespoon melted butter
8 ounce cream cheese (room temp)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon banana or other extract (use your imagination)
1 cup heavy cream

Steps
1. In a large bowl mixed together cracker crumb sugar and melted butter.
2. Press into a well-greased 11 inch tart pan with removable bottom.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
4. In a separate bowl whip cream to soft peaks.
5. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, add sugar beat until fluffy add extract.
6. Fold in whipped cream.
7. Pour into crust and smooth the top.
8. Refrigerate one hour.
9. Add topping and chill several hours or overnight.
The specific tart in my FB posting has
a. Blueberry (make with fresh and some sugar cooked or buy canned)
b. Strawberry's marinated in sugar and Kirschwasser (Cherry flavored brandy)
c. Sliced Kiwi marinated in sugar and Kirschwasser
d. Cherries marinated in Absinth (licorice flavor liquor)
All arranged in a nice pattern.
You really could top the tart with anything that strikes your fancy... like marinated peach slices in Brandy and Sugar, if you’re from the Georgia.
Good luck and don't forget the booze for the cook while assembling.....
