I always get so many compliments whenever I serve this tart. It looks like something you would get in a bakery and is a breeze to fix! It's light and refreshing-the ladies love it and it's one of my boy's favorite desserts! Originally from an Imperial Sugar advertisement I cut from a magazine years ago. Ingredients:
1 single pie shell, baked |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon lemon, rind of, grated |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
fresh strawberries, halved |
kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
1 (11 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained |
1/4 cup apple jelly, melted (microwave is great for this!) |
Directions:
1. In small bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon peel and juice.
2. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often, about 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Spread over baked pie crust.
4. Chill at least 1 hour.
5. Several hours before serving, arrange fruit on filling.
6. I like to use the strawberries nearest the rim of the pie shell, then a ring of overlapping kiwi slices, then a ring of mandarin oranges followed with a bull's-eye of the crushed pineapple in the center.
7. Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
8. You may substitute whatever your favorite fruit or berries are for the topping.
