Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 23 tablespoons ice water
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup (70g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons sparkling wine or prosecco (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 34 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam
  • 2 tablespoons sparkling wine or prosecco (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add cold, cubed butter and work into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  2. Add egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water. Stir gently until dough starts to come together. Add remaining water if needed. Wrap dough and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to tart pan, press into edges, trim excess, and prick base with fork.
  4. Line crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake blind for 15 minutes, remove weights and parchment, then bake 8-10 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
  5. Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and sparkling wine until smooth and creamy. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks in a separate bowl.
  6. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture. Spread filling evenly over cooled crust.
  7. Arrange thin peach slices over filling in concentric circles or preferred pattern.
  8. Warm apricot jam and sparkling wine together until smooth. Brush glaze over peach slices.
  9. Refrigerate tart for at least 1 hour before serving to firm filling and meld flavors.

Notes

Keep butter cold and avoid overworking dough for a flaky crust. Chill dough before rolling. Whip cream to soft peaks only. Glaze peaches just before serving to maintain shine. Baking crust blind prevents sogginess.
