Easy Fruit Cookie Tarts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Stir Bisquick, 2/3 cup sugar, the butter and eggs in large bowl until soft dough forms. Pat dough into sixteen 3-inch circles on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and the vanilla in small bowl with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spread over tarts to within 1/4 inch of edges. Place fruit on top; brush with jelly. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Put the cookie dough slices on parchment-lined baking sheets and slightly flatten each one. Bake according to the package instructions, then set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread some onto each cooled cookie. Arrange a kiwi slice, strawberry piece, raspberry and 2 blueberries on top of each. Warm the apple jelly in a small pan over low heat until just loosened, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the fruit with the apple jelly to glaze it, then garnish each with a mint leaf.

Steps:

• For the tarts: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• On a lightly floured work surface, lay out the puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry sheets in half, making 4 rectangles. Place 2 puff pastry rectangles on each sheet pan. Set aside.
• Add the blueberries and strawberries to separate bowls. Divide the granulated sugar and lemon juice between the bowls. Season each with a pinch of salt and stir until well combined.
• Divide the blueberries between 2 of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Do the same with the strawberries and the remaining puff pastry rectangles. Pinch the corners of each rectangle, creating a slight lip. Brush the edges with the cream.
• Bake in the lower half of the oven until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: While the tarts bake, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft and billowy. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
• Transfer the tarts to a cutting board. Let the tarts cool slightly before slicing approximately 6 times across each tart to create thin slices. Transfer to a serving platter. Scatter the mint leaves over the tart pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve alongside the whipped cream.

Steps:

• For the shell: pulse dry ingredients in food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until pea sized crumbs form -- don't process too much. Pour in water gradually until dough forms into a ball. Turn out and roll into a circle about 15 inches in diameter. Move to cookie sheet lined in parchment paper. Fold over/pleat outer edge of the dough about 3/4 inch. Line the inside of the dough with a piece of foil, and add rice or beans or pie weights to prevent the crust from bubbling during baking. Bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes until crust is lightly browned. You can remove the foil/blind bake rig after 10 minutes.
• For the filling - combine the ingredients and whip/beat in stand mixer until fluffy.
• For the glaze -1/2 cup whatever kind of jelly melted in the microwave for ~30 seconds. Clearer colors are best. I used Rosé wine gelée from Whole Foods.
• To assemble - let the shell cool to room temperature and then spread the filling inside the shell. Arrange fruit. Brush on glaze. Eat ASAP!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Put pie crust flat on cookie sheet and fold the edge over 1/2 inch.
• Bake pie crust 10-12 minutes until golden.
• Cool.
• Meanwhile, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and well blended.
• Blend in vanilla.
• Spread cream cheese mixture over crust to within 1/2 inch of the edge.
• Arrange fruit over cream cheese attractively.
• Dip bananas, peaches and nectarines in lemon juice to prevent browning.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Unroll pastry on baking sheet. Fold over edges of pastry to form 1/2-inch rim; press firmly to base to seal. Prick pastry sheet with fork. Bake 10 to 15 min. or until puffed and golden brown. Cool completely. Place on tray.
• Beat pudding mix and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in COOL WHIP; spread onto pastry.
• Melt chocolate as directed on package. Arrange fruit over pudding mixture. Mix preserves and water; brush onto fruit. Drizzle with chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse cookies, pecans, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and pulse until dough sticks together when squeezed with your fingertips. Transfer dough to pan and press into bottom and up sides of pan. Chill until set, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer pan to a rimmed baking sheet and bake shell until golden, 18-20 minutes. Let cool.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in lemon curd and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, then whip on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
• Spoon lemon curd mixture into tart shell and top with fruit. Chill 15 minutes to set, then serve.
• Do Ahead
• Tart shell can be baked 3 days ahead. Let cool, tightly wrap with plastic, and store at room temperature.
