KIWI TART

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.

• Meanwhile, beat together cream cheese, sugar, milk, zest, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread cream cheese filling in cooled shell and top with kiwi slices.

GLAZED KIWI TART

• To make the pie shell, follow the directions on the package for a one crust pie. Use a fork to thoroughly prick the bottom and sides of the pastry shell and bake pastry according to package directions. Allow to cool.
• For the filling, combine cream cheese,sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Stir until smooth. Spread cream cheese filling in cooled pastry shell.
• Peel kiwifruit with a paring knife and cut into thin slices. Arrange slices on top of cream cheese filling, overlapping them in circles.
• To make glaze, combine apricot preserves and water in a small saucepan and heat until preserves melt. Cool slightly, stirring occasionally. Spoon glaze over kiwifruit and chill tart until ready to serve.

KIWI-CREAM CHEESE TART

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon ice water and blend until moist clumps form. Add more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Transfer dough to floured surface. Gently knead nuts into dough. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Freeze crust 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crust until sides begin to set, about 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until cooked through and pale golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 10 minutes longer. Cool crust completely.
• For filling:
• Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, lime juice and lime peel in large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat whipping cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Spoon filling into crust; smooth top with knife. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Arrange kiwis in concentric circles atop filling, overlapping slightly. (Can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic and refrigerate.) Cut tart into wedges and serve.

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.
