Ingredients
Instructions
- Press cookie dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until the edge is set and the center is still slightly soft.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small mixer bowl until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edge.
- Arrange fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese layer as desired.
- Refrigerate the tart for 1 hour.
- Remove the rim of the pan and slice into wedges to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider using mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. If you want to add a crunch, sprinkle some crushed nuts on top of the fruit. You can also experiment with different fruits like berries or kiwi for a vibrant look. Make sure to let the crust cool completely before adding the cream cheese mixture to prevent it from melting.
Serving Suggestions
This tart is perfect for dessert at a summer gathering or brunch. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. It also pairs beautifully with a light fruit salad or a refreshing beverage like iced tea. For a unique twist, serve it alongside Windy City Cream Cheese Dip for a sweet and savory combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you have leftover fruit, store it separately to prevent it from making the crust soggy. This tart is best enjoyed chilled, so consider letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving again.
