Categories     Fruit     Bake

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 C butter, softened (two sticks)
3/4 C powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp rosemary or lavender
2 C flour
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh seasonal fruit (strawberries, kiwi, mango, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, plum - try to have 3 different fruits
3 tbsp apricot or grape jelly and 1 tbsp water

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, sugar and salt. When well combined, add the flour and rosemary/lavender in two batches and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not over mix. The dough's consistency should be sticky to the touch, but manageable with floured hands. Spray tart mold with a baking spray. Press dough into a greased 9 - 10 inch tart mold with a removable bottom, use extra flour on your hands if the dough is too sticky. Start with the edges and then fill in the center. Use a spoon to smooth out dough. Prick dough with fork. Chill crust for 15 minutes in the freezer. Preheat oven to 425 and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from ove and cool completely to room temperature. Mix together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove dough from tart mold and fill with cream filling. Arrange fruit nicely and coat fruit with appricot or grape glaze.

I've made this tart several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is so easy to make and the fruit filling is always delicious. I love that I can use whatever fruit I have on hand.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tart turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked it.

I'm not a huge fan of fruit tarts, but this one was really good. The crust was the perfect balance of crumbly and flaky, and the fruit filling was fresh and flavorful.

This tart was a disaster! The crust was too crumbly and the fruit filling was too runny. I don't think I'll be making this again.

I had some trouble getting the crust to come together, but the tart was still delicious. I think I just needed to add a little more water.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the crust was delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.
