One 8-ounce cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

TOPPING-

Strawberries, kiwi slices, blueberries, rasberries (whatever looks good)

GLAZE-

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

One 6-ounce can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed (I found Frozen Mojito Mix and it was so good that I'll be using that from now on.)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Whipped Cream, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350

CRUST-

In a food processor, combine the confectioners' sugar, flour, and butter, and process until the mixture forms a ball.

With your fingers, press the dough into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Make sure you press the dough up the sides.

Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.

Set Aside to cool

FILLING

Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth

Spread over the crust

Cut the strawberries into 1/4-inch slices and arrange around the edge of the crust.

For the next circle, use kiwi slices

Add another circle of strawberries

Fill in any spaces with blueberries

Cluster rasberries in the center of the tart

GLAZE-

Combine limeade (or mojito mix), cornstarch, lime juice, and sugar in a small saucepan for about 2 minutes. Until it thickens.

Let cool

With a pastry brush, glaze the entire tart, you won't juse entire glaze

Keep tart in refrigerator.

Remove abut 15 minutes before serving. Slice into 8 wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
