An All American dessert to kick off the summer!
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 Melissa’s Vanilla Beans
4 eggs
6 oz. fresh blueberries
9-10 strawberries, stems removed, halved
1 ½ ripe bananas, sliced
Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of sugar and the melted butter. Press the mixture into a tart or pie pan.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar and vanilla extract.
Split the vanilla beans in half, lengthwise and scrape the pulp into the bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, allowing them to completely incorporate before adding another egg. Pour the mixture into the tart tin and smooth the top.
Bake in the oven for 60-75 minutes, or until completely set.
Remove from the oven, let cool and then chill for at least 4 hours.
Run a row of the blueberries around the outside edge and then fill the center with alternating rows of the strawberries and bananas.
