Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened and cut

Filling:

  • 1 (8-ounce) block of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (6-ounce) can of thawed frozen limeade concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Glaze:

  • 1 (6-ounce) can of thawed frozen limeade concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Preparing the crust: In a food processor, mix the powdered sugar, flour, and butter until a dough ball forms. Firmly press this dough into a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring it fills the sides properly. Even out the surface and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool.
  3. Mixing the filling and topping: In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over your cooled crust.
  4. Slice your fresh fruit and arrange it creatively on top of the filling.
  5. Preparing the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the limeade, cornstarch, lime juice, and sugar over medium heat until the mixture becomes clear and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Allow it to cool. Brush the glaze over the tart, using only as much as desired.
  6. Store the tart in the refrigerator. Remove it approximately 15 minutes before serving. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy with a swirl of whipped cream.
