½ cup of cane sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
¼ cup peach juice, and the fruit, sliced of 2 ripe peaches
1 tablespoon of grated lemon zest
2- 2½ cups of fresh sliced strawberries
1-2 tablespoons of cane sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Bake your favorite pie crust in a deep dish pie or tart pan until golden brown, about 10-14 minutes and set aside.

Beat together cream cheese and ½ cup of cane sugar. Add in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly mixed. Add lemon juice, zest, and peach juice until well blended and smooth. Fold in sliced peaches. Pour into pre-baked tart or pie shell and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until filling is fully set.

Allow tart to cool and then cover and refrigerate until well chilled (at least an hour) When ready to serve, arrange sliced strawberries on top of tart and sprinkle with cane sugar. Slice and serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream that's been mixed with a few small chunks of fresh peach and strawberry and a sprinkle of fresh grated cinnamon.
