Fruit Tart with White Chocolate Filling

Elye and I have been talking about making a fruit tart for a while. We altered the recipe from Paula Deen and it came out pretty awesome!

Ingredients:

Crust:

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened and sliced

Filling:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup white chocolate chips melted

Topping:

Fresh strawberries, kiwi slices, blueberries, raspberries, canned mandarin oranges

Glaze:

1/2 (6-ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

First, for the crust, combine flour, butter, and sugar and beat until it forms a doughy ball. Then, press this down on a 12 inch spring form pan. Bake for about fifteen minutes, or until it is very lightly browned. Let it cool!

Then, for the filling:
Beat cream cheese, white choc (melted), sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Once the crust is cool, spread the filling on top of it.

Decorate with the cut up fruit of your choice.

For the glaze:
Combine the limeade, cornstarch, and sugar a saucepan and cook it over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until thickened. Glaze the entire tart with a pastry brush (don't be shy here!)

Keep the tart in the refrigerate until about ten minutes before you want to eat it.
