Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Butter and Egg Yolks

    Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pre-Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing gently into the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Blend the Filling

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.

  2. 6

    Fold in Whipped Cream

    Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

  3. 7

    Fill the Tart Crust

    Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled tart crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Topping Preparation

  1. 8

    Arrange the Fruits

    Wash and slice the mixed fresh fruits. Arrange them artfully over the cream cheese filling.

  2. 9

    Add Glaze (Optional)

    If using, warm the apricot glaze in a small saucepan until it is liquid. Brush or drizzle it over the fruits to give a shiny finish.

Serving

  1. 10

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the fruit tart for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set. Cut into slices and enjoy!
