Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream the softened butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth.
- Mix in the flour until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into the bottom of a 12-inch round pan or a jelly roll pan.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden.
- Allow to cool before adding any filling or toppings.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature before creaming with the confectioners sugar, as this will create a smoother mixture. If you want to experiment, consider adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness or substitute half of the flour with almond flour for added flavor and texture. This tart crust can also be used as a base for other desserts, like the Hurry Dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the white chocolate cheese fruit tart with fresh seasonal fruits on top for a vibrant touch. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a unique twist, consider serving it alongside a slice of Zucchini Bread With Cheese Spread for an interesting combination of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you've already added toppings or fillings, it's best to consume it within 2 days for optimal freshness. To reheat, place the tart in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5-10 minutes, just until warmed through.
