Taste of Home Bakeable's June 2022 Challenge: Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart ***UPDATED

***UPDATED 6/25/23***

I've taken on the challenge of the Taste of Home Bakeable's Challenge. For the month of June, it's the Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart.

This recipe calls for a 12” pizza pan but since I had decided to cut the recipe in half, I used a 9” pie pan. 

What’s wonderful about a fruit tart is you can use whatever fruit your heart desires. I used strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and mandarin oranges. 

If you plan on keeping your fruit tart longer than a day, consider coating the crust with a thin layer of melted chocolate—it can be white, semisweet, milk, or dark chocolate—prior to filling. Not only does it coat the crust and keep it from absorbing moisture, but it also adds an additional "surprise" element of flavor! 

 This fruit & cream tart is easier than making a classic summer pie but fancier than a down-home fruit cobbler. It looks dramatic, elegant, and downright impressive, but it's actually simple to make. Sounds good, right

 

Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. + chilling  YIELD: 12 servings.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 1.2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 pkg (10-12 oz) white baking chips, melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 T. cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 4 cups fresh fruit

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300°. Cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in flour (mixture will be crumbly).

Pat onto a greased 12-inch. pizza pan. Bake until lightly browned, 25-28 minutes. Cool.

(I used extra chips to melt on top on top of the crust to keep it from getting soggy).

Beat melted chips and cream until smooth. Beat in cream cheese until smooth.

Spread over crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.

Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool.

Arrange fruit over the cream cheese layer; brush with pineapple mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
