Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 refrigerated pie crust (half of 15-ounce package), room temperature
1 teaspoon all purpose flour
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 small pineapple, peeled, halved, cored, thinly sliced
3 kiwis, peeled, thinly sliced
1 large mango, peeled, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons apricot preserves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Unfold crust.
Using wet fingertips, press together any cracks to seal. Rub crust with flour. Place crust, floured side down, in 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Fold overhang in; press firmly, forming double-thick sides. Pierce bottom of crust with fork. Bake until golden, about 14 minutes. Cool completely.
Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Beat in whipping cream, lemon juice and vanilla. Spread filling in prepared crust. Refrigerate until filling is firm, about 1 hour.
Arrange pineapple, kiwis and mango atop tart. Stir preserves in saucepan over low heat until melted. Brush preserves over fruit. Chill tart up to 2 hours.
