Banana Kiwi Strawberry Tart Recipes

KIWI STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
• Mix the crust ingredients, using only enough milk to get the consistency you want.
• On a sheet of wax paper, roll the dough out into a large circle. Use the wax paper to gently flip the crust into a 9-inch tart pan. Sprinkle a little flour on the bottom of the crust dough and set aside.
• Combine all cake ingredients, beginning with the dry. Pour cake batter over the crust dough.
• Bake for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the instant pudding and refrigerate.
• Next, wash and chop the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwis.
• Once all components are ready and the crust has cooled to room temperature, you can assemble the tart.
• Use a spatula to smooth the pudding evenly over the cake layer.
• Place the fruit on top in any pattern you like. I typically start in the center and work my way outwards. Finally, sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top of the fruit.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate. It should last a day or two in the fridge.

STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend flour, butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and salt until moist crumbs form (this may take up to 1 minute). Transfer dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom.
• With floured fingers, press dough evenly into pan and up sides. Dip a dry-measuring cup in flour, and use it to press dough firmly into bottom and against sides of pan. Freeze crust until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a fork, prick crust all over. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes, pressing down gently once or twice with a spoon during baking if crust puffs up. Cool completely in pan.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until smooth; spread mixture evenly in bottom of baked crust (still in tart pan).
• Starting from outside edge, arrange strawberry halves, stemmed side down, in tight concentric circles on cream cheese.
• In a small saucepan, heat jelly on medium-low until liquefied. Gently brush strawberries with jelly; let set at least 20 minutes. Chill in pan at least 1 hour (and up to 6 hours); remove from pan just before serving.
