Summer Berry Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry (my sheet was 12oz)
    1 cup light cream cheese, I used Philadelphia
    1/4 cup icing sugar, sifted
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3/4 cup fresh blackberries
    3/4 cup fresh raspberry
    16 large strawberries (probably around 2 cups, I wanted them lined up symmetrically)
    1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking tray. Place ready rolled pastry onto your tray and score a rectangle into the pastry, 1-2 inches from the edge. Poke the middle of the pastry with a fork.
    Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen, puffy and golden. Leave to cool completely.
    Once cool, place the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla into a medium bowl and beat until light and smooth, about 1 minute on medium speed.
    Pour onto cooled pastry and smooth with a small spatula.
    Cover the cream cheese with fresh berries. (You can tip them on randomly or line them up, I'm a little OCD with symmetry!).
    Dust with icing sugar if desired. Tart will keep in an airtight container, in the fridge for 2 days.
