Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the shortcrust pastry into a tart pan, pressing it in without tearing. Prick the bottom with a fork.

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Gently fold in whipped cream until fully combined.
Spread the cream filling over the cooled crust, then arrange fresh berries on top artistically.
