Categories     Mother's Day     Summer     baking     dessert

Time 4h40m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg yolk
4 tsp. ice water
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. sour cream
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/3 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. blueberries
1/2 c. strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/2 c. raspberries
1/2 c. diced mango
1/2 c. diced kiwi
2 tbsp. apple jelly

Steps:

  • For the crust: Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. With a pastry cutter or your fingers, gradually work the butter into the flour until pea-sized pieces form. Stir together the egg yolk and water, then stir into the flour mixture using a fork in a small bowl. Stir, then knead the dough together until it is no longer crumbly and holds together when pinched with your fingers. Form it into a disc and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
  • Roll the dough into a 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the crust into the pan and trim the edges right at the top of the tart pan sides. (Do not worry ff the crust cracks! Patch it up with the dough pieces that were trimmed from the edges). Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Place the crust on a dinner plate, then in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • During the last 20 minutes of chilling, preheat the oven to 400˚. Prick the crust all over with a fork. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually pour in the heavy cream with the mixer running on medium-low and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust and spread into an even layer.
  • For the topping: Arrange the blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, and mango on top of the filling. Microwave the apple jelly in a small microwavable bowl until melted and smooth, about 30 seconds. Brush the apple jelly over the fruit. Chill the tart until cold and the filling is set, at least 2 hours or overnight.
