Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 pieces Fresh kiwis
- 1 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Apricot jelly
- 1 teaspoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges.
Prick the bottom of the tart shell with a fork to prevent puffing, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled tart shell.
Peel and slice the kiwis, and hull and slice the strawberries.
Arrange the kiwi slices and strawberry slices on top of the cream cheese filling in an overlapping pattern or as desired.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jelly and water over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
Brush the melted jelly mixture over the fruit topping to give it a beautiful glaze.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Kiwi Strawberry Tart!
