Easy Fruit Tart

By Heather 12 Comments

Easy Fruit Tart

This is my favorite dessert to bring to a barbecue or any occasion that falls during summer due to the abundance of sweet fruit during the season. Fancy fruit tarts like this one sell for around $20 in the supermarket or bakery.  It is as pleasing to the eye as it is your taste buds. Don’t be intimidated – anyone can make this yummy dessert. The first step is to gather your favorite delicious fresh fruit such as strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarins.

You will need a tart pan with a removable bottom and lots of fresh fruit. The crust can be done by hand but it’s made easy with a food processor – this is the one I own and I love it!

  3. With your fingers, press the dough into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, taking care to push the crust into the indentations in the sides. Pat until the crust is even.
  4. Bake for to 12 minutes, until very lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  5. For the filling and topping: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
  6. Spread over the cooled crust. Cut the strawberries into ¼-inch slices and arrange around the edge of the crust.
  7. For the next circle, use kiwi slices. Add another circle of strawberries, filling in any spaces with blueberries. Cluster the raspberries in the center of the tart.
  8. Glazing: Microwave a mixture of ¼ cup apricot preserves with a few tablespoons water.
  9. Brush it over the fruit carefully to give it shine.
