Cream Cheese Fruit Tart image

I always get so many compliments whenever I serve this tart. It looks like something you would get in a bakery and is a breeze to fix! It's light and refreshing--the ladies love it and it's one of my boy's favorite desserts! Originally from an Imperial Sugar advertisement I cut from a magazine years ago.

Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 single pie shell, baked
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon, rind of, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
fresh strawberries, halved
kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (11 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup apple jelly, melted (microwave is great for this!)

Steps:

  • In small bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon peel and juice.
  • Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Spread over baked pie crust.
  • Chill at least 1 hour.
  • Several hours before serving, arrange fruit on filling.
  • I like to use the strawberries nearest the rim of the pie shell, then a ring of overlapping kiwi slices, then a ring of mandarin oranges followed with a "bull's-eye" of the crushed pineapple in the center.
  • Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
  • You may substitute whatever your favorite fruit or berries are for the topping.
