Fresh Fruit Tart
Description
The Fresh Fruit Tart consists of a buttery crust made by blending sugar, flour, and softened butter until dough forms, pressed into a tart pan and baked until lightly golden. This creates a crisp, slightly crumbly base. The filling is whipped cream cheese mixed with granulated sugar and vanilla extract to creamy smoothness, then spread evenly over the cooled crust.
Fresh, colorful fruit such as berries and kiwi are arranged on top, offering a range of sweet and tart flavors alongside a fresh texture contrast to the creamy filling and crisp crust. To finish, warmed smooth jam is brushed over the fruit, giving the tart an attractive shine and sealing in freshness.
Chilling for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the tart to set and flavors to meld. This dessert works well for gatherings where a visually impressive yet fresh fruit dessert is desired.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 12 tbsp butter softened and sliced, unsalted
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups Fresh fruit berries and kiwi recommended
- 1/2 cup jam smooth versus chunky
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a food processor, combine sugar, flour, and butter. Blend until the mixture forms a ball.
- Using your fingers, press the dough into a 9-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 and somewhat smooth. Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it turns a light share of brown. Set aside to cool.
Filling and Topping
- Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Spread the cream over the cooled crust. Decorate the top with a variety of colorful fruits.
- Heat up the jam in the microwave or in a small sauce pan until it becomes slightly melted. Using a pastry brush, lightly spread the jam on top of the fruit to give it a nice sheen. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
