NO-BAKE FRUIT TART
This tart is special because it uses a variety of fruit! In fact, I think the tart is even better and more special that way! So of course, this got me to thinking about life. And diversity. And how we, as a people, are truly better together. We are more interesting. We get more flavors and textures and colors. We can live in harmony and are more interesting and better because of the red cherry that's adjacent to the fuchsia raspberry. We are better together. And about this tart... it couldn't be easier to make. A store-bought crust works really well, here! (If you want to bake a homemade crust, I'm sharing my recipe for that below, too). Then the filling is basically a no-bake cheesecake. You don't even have to wait for it to "set" in the fridge. You just really have to beat the cream cheese and whipping cream real good until you get to super stiff peaks.

Steps:
- Place the cream cheese, cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until very stiff peaks form and the filling smooths out (initially, it may be a little lumpy from the cold cream cheese, but if you keep beating, it will smooth out). You want the filling to really thicken up. (If your cream cheese was at room temperature, it won't get thick and that's fine -- it will set beautifully while in the refrigerator.)
- Spread the filling evenly into your crust. Slice the larger fruit and halve some of the cherries and strawberries to expose the insides. Arrange on top of the tart.
- Microwave the jelly or jam, if using, in a small microwave-safe bowl just until it becomes more liquid. Brush it all over the top of the fruit. (This will help "preserve" the tart while it's in the fridge.)
- Refrigerate until ready to serve! It will be fine in the fridge for up to two days. Serve cold!
