French Patisserie Fruit Tart

Ingredients
Shortcrust:

• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 4 oz unsalted butter cut into pieces
• 1 Tbsp sour cream
• 2 Tbsp sugar

Vanilla Cream:

• 6 oz cream cheese softened
• 1 Tbsp sour cream
• 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla

Glaze:

• 4 oz apple juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Fruit Toppings:

• 2 kiwi peeled and sliced
• 1/3 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup raspberries
• 1/2 cup strawberries sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375'F
2. Place all crust ingredients in a food processor and process until it looks like cornmeal. Press mixture into a 10" tart pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
3. To prepare the cream filling place the heavy cream in the cold bowl of a stand up mixer and blend for about 2 minutes using a whisk attachment. Slowly add the sour cream, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth.
4. To prepare the glaze: combine sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Heat the fruit juice on medium, and slowly start adding in the sugar mixture while stirring. Bring to a boil and allow it to cook for about two minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool for ten minutes before using.
5. Assemble the tart by first filling crust with vanilla cream, then arrange fruit in an artful way on top of the cream. Brush with glaze.
