Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups assorted fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries)
- 0.25 cups apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely before proceeding.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the filling in any pattern you like. Get creative with colors and shapes!
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves and water over low heat until melted and smooth. Strain if desired to remove any solids.
Using a pastry brush, gently brush the apricot glaze over the arranged fruit to give it a glossy finish.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
Remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your easy fresh fruit tart!
