Chilled Cream Cheese Fruit Tart with Kiwi, Berries, and Peaches
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
12 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¾ cup heavy whipping cream, cold
For the fruit topping:
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
½ cup fresh strawberries, halved
½ cup fresh blueberries
½ cup fresh raspberries
1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
Optional glaze:
¼ cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted butter until fully moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust. Smooth the top.
Arrange the sliced fruit on top in a decorative pattern, starting from the center outward.
For a shiny finish, warm apricot preserves with water until liquefied. Brush lightly over the fruit.
Chill tart in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving.
