Glazed Fruit Tart

By NicoleP

Ingredients

• CRUST:
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• FILLING:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• zest of 1 lemon
• TOPPING:
• a medley of strawberry slices, kiwi slices and blueberries
• 2 tbsp apricot preserves
• 1 tbsp water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Pulse the crust ingredients together in a food processor until they form a dough ball. Press the dough out into a 12" pie pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until very light golden brown. Allow to cool completely before filling.

To make the filling, beat the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Spread in the cooked tart shell and arrange the sliced fruit in desired pattern on top.

In a small microwavable bowl, heat the preserves and water together and stir. Allow to cool, then brush over the fruit. Serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
