Instructions

Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch tart pan, including sides. Refrigerate 30 minutes to set.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
Stir in fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
Pour lemon cream filling into chilled crust, smoothing evenly. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
Before serving, top tart with mixed fresh berries arranged as desired.

Notes

Use seasonal fruits like peaches, kiwi, or mango instead of berries.
Add a layer of chocolate ganache under the filling for a chocolate-citrus twist.
Replace graham crackers with crushed almonds or pecans for a nutty, gluten-free crust.
For vegan option, substitute cream cheese with vegan cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut cream.
Add fresh chopped mint or basil to the filling for a herbal note.
