Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, you’ll need a tart crust. Please refer to the existing recipe (Reference: @6918321) and prepare your finished tart crust. A crisp tart crust is the foundation for a delicious tart.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the smooth and sweet filling for the tart. The quantities below are for one tart, so please take note.
Step 3
Also, prepare the fresh fruits for decorating the tart. Wash them thoroughly, pat them dry, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Remove the stems from the strawberries and separate the green grapes into individual berries.
Step 4
In a bowl, place the 140g of cream cheese that has been softened at room temperature. Whip it until smooth using a hand mixer or a whisk. Then, gradually add the 60g of sugar and the packet of vanilla sugar in 2-3 additions, whipping until well combined and the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Add the 100g of plain yogurt to the cream cheese mixture and whip on a low speed until smoothly incorporated. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can cause the yogurt to separate.
Step 6
Pour the 150g of fresh heavy cream into a separate bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur to enhance its flavor. Prepare this for whipping.
Step 7
Whip the prepared heavy cream to a soft peak. Aim for about 70% stiffness, where the peak gently curls over. Over-whipping can make it difficult to combine with the cream cheese mixture.
Step 8
Gently fold the softly whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 2-3 additions using a spatula. Use a lifting motion from the bottom of the bowl upwards to incorporate without deflating the cream. Gently folding is key to achieving a light and airy texture.
Step 9
Your smooth cream cheese filling for the tart is now complete! Check for a glossy and smooth texture.
Step 10
Fill the pre-baked and cooled tart crust completely with the cream cheese filling, using a spatula or a piping bag. Smooth the top surface for a neat finish.
Step 11
For decoration, cut the strawberries and green grapes in half. Slice the strawberries thoughtfully for visual appeal. Halving the green grapes will also showcase their vibrant color.
Step 12
Arrange the halved strawberries and green grapes attractively on top of the cream cheese filling. Add blueberries or orange slices for pops of color, and finish with a dusting of green tea crunch and powdered sugar. Your beautiful Green Grape & Strawberry Tart is complete! Enjoy this visually stunning and delicious tart.
Step 13
Here’s a look at another design of the same tart, made previously. You can create different aesthetics by varying the arrangement of fruits and how you use the crunches.
Step 14
Sprinkling coffee crunch around the edges of the tart adds a nutty flavor and crunchy texture, making it even more special. Feel free to experiment with different types of crunches.

This tart, lavishly decorated with strawberries, green grapes, oranges, and blueberries, captivates the viewer’s heart. Making and gifting such a vibrant creation will undoubtedly bring unforgettable joy to your loved ones. ^^
