Festive Fruit Tart Recipe
Festive Fruit Tart
Pastry for single-crust Pie (9 inch)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
¾ tsp. almond extract, divided
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1 medium peach or nectarines, peeled and sliced
2 Tbsp. apricot preserves
Press pastry onto bottom and up sides of an ungreased 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom; trim edges. Generously prick the bottom with a fork. Bake at 450 F. for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and ½ teaspoon almond extract until smooth; spread over crust. Arrange fruit over cream cheese mixture.
In a microwave, heat preserves and remaining extract, uncovered, on high for 20-30 seconds or until warm. Brush over fruit. Store in the refrigerator. 12 servings
