Ingredients

• 200 grams Gingersnap cookies
• 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 225 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 80 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Heavy whipping cream, chilled
• 200 grams Fresh strawberries, sliced
• 100 grams Fresh blueberries
• 2 pieces Fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
• 1 teaspoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Crush the gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix the gingersnap crumbs with melted butter and granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 4

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Make sure it's firmly packed to form a crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Step 8

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the cooled crust using a spatula.

Step 9

Arrange the fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi slices) on top of the filling in any decorative pattern you like.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the apricot jam with water and microwave for 15 seconds to create a glaze.

Step 11

Using a brush, lightly coat the fruit with the glaze for shine and added sweetness.

Step 12

Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.

Step 13

Slice and serve this refreshing tart chilled. Enjoy!
