Grilled Fruit Phyllo Tart image

This tart was a hit at my friend's baby shower. It reminds me of a fruit salad that my mother used to make with cream cheese and whipped topping. Everyone loved the flaky crust, and the bright colors make it a pretty addition to any spread. -Laura McAllister, Morganton, North Carolina
