Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp red food coloring
1/2 cup buttermilk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
Stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract. Then, alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into a tart pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For the filling, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Decorate as desired before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: You can use a store-bought tart shell if you're short on time, though homemade offers a delightful texture.

For a more intense flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese filling. If you’re short on time, store-bought tart crust can be a great shortcut!

To decorate, fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder can enhance both the appearance and taste. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the tart is best enjoyed fresh!
