1 teaspoon all purpose flour
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 small pineapple, peeled, halved, cored, thinly sliced
3 kiwis, peeled, thinly sliced
1 large mango, peeled, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons apricot preserves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Unfold crust.

    Step 4

    Arrange pineapple, kiwis and mango atop tart. Stir preserves in saucepan over low heat until melted. Brush preserves over fruit. Chill tart up to 2 hours.
