Wow. is what you'll hear when you serve this impressive dessert to company. This tart is not only pretty, it's also easy to make.
Ingredients:
pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon almond extract, divided
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberry
1 medium ripe peaches or 1 medium nectarine, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
Directions:
1. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the 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.
2. In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until smooth; spread over crust. Arrange fruit over cream cheese mixture. Start with peach or nectarine slices in the center formed like a flower, circle the peach or nectarine slices with the blueberries and then the raspberries. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine apricot preserves and remaining almond extract. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 20-30 seconds or until warm; brush over fruit. Chill until serving.
