Give your kids a treat while giving them a serving or two of fresh, seasonal, local fruit with this easy to make fruit tart. Kids will love helping to decorate!

Ingredients:
1 recipe Pate Sucree (aka sugar dough)
3/4 cup Whipped Cream Cheese or Mascarpone
1/2-3/4 cup Lemon Curd (to taste)
3 cups Fresh Fruits & Berries, rinsed and sliced

Directions:
  1. Prepare tart dough per recipe. Form dough in the shape of a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Roll out dough 1/8-1/4-inch thick and mold into tart shell. Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
  3. Prepare filling by mixing whipped cream cheese or mascarpone with lemon curd to desired lemony flavor. Spread evenly over base of cooled tart shell(s), about 1/4-inch thick.
  4. Arrange fruit over filling however you like.
  5. Enjoy! Store refrigerated.

Nutrient-Boosting Options:
  • Substitute up to half of the flour in the crust for almond meal to give a nutty flavor and a boost of protein. And maybe add a drizzle of melted chocolate over top to complement the almond?
  • Substitute flavored Greek yogurt for cream cheese filling for a lower calorie, higher protein treat. I recommend honey or lemon flavors.
  • Try mixing mashed banana with peanut butter for the filling and drizzle honey over top fruit.
