Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fresh Summer Fruit Tart.
Step 1
Begin by mixing water and vanilla extract in a small bowl, then set it aside to infuse.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, blend together 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour, sugar, and salt until they are harmoniously combined.
Step 3
Cut in the butter until the mixture achieves a crumbly texture, taking care not to overwork it to maintain a tender pastry.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate the vanilla water until the dough forms, then chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to enhance its texture.
Step 5
On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, then gently transfer it to an 11-inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
Step 6
Place the tart shell in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up, ensuring a perfect bake.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you wait.
Step 8
Bake the pastry shell for about 10 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown.
Step 9
If any large bubbles appear, simply prick them with a knife.
Step 10
Allow the shell to cool completely before moving on.
Step 11
While the shell cools, whip the cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 12
In another bowl, blend sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Step 13
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a luscious filling.
Step 14
Spread this delightful filling evenly into the cooled pastry shell, smoothing it to the edges for a polished look.
Step 15
Top the filling with a vibrant assortment of fruits like mandarin oranges, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and raspberries, ensuring the filling is beautifully covered.
Step 16
Finally, refrigerate the tart until you’re ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the tart to chill to perfection.
Step 17
Enjoy this refreshing dessert that’s sure to impress!.
