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

Image
***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
