- Pour filling into prepared crust and bake 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool. Cover tart and refrigerate 1 hour until chilled.
- Beat whipping cream and remaining 1 tablespoon powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Spoon dollops of topping around edge of tart and serve.
Helpful hints
- Whipping cream is also known as heavy cream. It doubles in volume when whipped.
- Without the whipped cream fat is 19 grams per serving.
- To make a diabetic-friendly version, substitute Splenda® granular sweetener for powdered and granulated sugar and replace whipped cream with a dollop of light whipped topping (carbohydrate 18 g, fat 20 g, calories 270).
