Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water until smooth. Press into a tart pan and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. In another bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form and the mixture is fluffy.
  3. Once the crust has cooled completely, spread the vanilla cream evenly over the tart base.
  4. Carefully arrange fresh raspberries on top of the creamy layer, ensuring a colorful and inviting presentation.
  5. Refrigerate the assembled tart for at least 2 hours, allowing the vanilla cream to set fully for optimal texture.
  6. Slice the tart into wedges and serve chilled for the best experience.
