Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 cups fresh fruit assortment (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, etc.)
• 3 tablespoons apricot jam
• 1 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled tart crust.

Step 7

Arrange the fresh fruit in an eye-catching pattern on top of the cream cheese layer.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water over low heat until the jam is melted and smooth. Use a pastry brush to gently glaze the fruit with the warm jam, giving it a glossy finish.

Step 9

Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.

Step 10

Slice and serve the tart chilled. Enjoy your Cream Cheese Fruit Tart!
