Oh, and wouldn't this make the perfect addition to your Easter buffet! And, it can easily be made a day or so in advance. Enjoy!
Fresh Fruit Tart
Recipe adapted from one created byMiss Paula Deen via Food Network
Ingredients
Crust:
•1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
•1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•1 1/2 sticks butter, softened and sliced
Filling:
•1 (8-ounce) package Light cream cheese, softened
•1/2 cup granulated sugar (or 1/4 c. splenda & 1/4 c sugar)
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract or Princess Cake Emulsion
Topping:
•Fresh strawberries, kiwi slices, blueberries, raspberries
Glaze:
•1 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
•1 tablespoon cornstarch
•1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
•1/4 cup granulated sugar
•Whipped cream, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the crust: In a food processor, combine the confectioners' sugar, flour, and butter, and process until the mixture forms a ball. With your fingers, press the dough into a large tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom), taking care to push the crust into the indentations in the sides. Pat until the crust is even. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until very lightly browned. Set aside to cool
For the filling and topping: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Spread over the cooled crust. Arrange the fruit as desired.
For the glaze: Combine the limeade, cornstarch, lime juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until clear and thick, about 2 minutes. Let cool. With a pastry brush, glaze the entire tart. You will not use all of the glaze.
Keep the tart in the refrigerator. Remove about 15 minutes before serving. Slice into 8 wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
