Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup white sugar

Topping

  • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, or as needed
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries, or as needed
  • 3 kiwis, peeled and sliced, or as needed

Glaze

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice

Filling

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 tart pans.

Step 2
Blend flour, butter, and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until combined. Divide mixture evenly and press into the bottoms of the prepared tart pans.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.

Step 4
While crusts are cooling, beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crusts. Arrange strawberries, blackberries, and kiwis on tart in desired design.

Step 5
Mix sugar and cornstarch together in a small saucepan. Pour in water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until clear and thick, about 2 minutes. Let glaze cool completely.

Step 6
Glaze the entire top of each tart gently using a pastry brush.

Cook’s Note:

If you are putting berries in the middle of the tart, place berries in a small bowl. Add glaze and mix together. Spoon onto center of tart.
