Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the tart crust.
Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, mix the Ah, Sugar Sugar!™ Cookie Mix with softened butter using a fork until small crumbles form. Then add ⅓ cup of 2% milk and mix until the dough is fully combined.
Form the Tart Crust: Wet your hands slightly and press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a well-greased 9-inch tart pan to create a uniform crust.
Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, press the crust down gently with the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to compact it, then return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove again, press down once more, then allow the crust to cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ¼ cup Champagne Jelly, and ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Apple Seasoning. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Assemble the Tart: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust to form a smooth layer.
Add the Fruit: Arrange kiwi, mandarin orange segments, and fresh berries on top of the cream cheese filling in your desired decorative pattern.
Glaze the Fruit: Microwave the remaining Champagne Jelly in a microwave-safe dish on high for 15-20 seconds or until melted. Using a brush, carefully glaze the fruit to give it a shiny finish.
Chill the Tart: Refrigerate the assembled tart for 1 to 2 hours or until the cream cheese filling firms up, ensuring the tart is set and ready to serve.

Notes

Use wet hands when pressing the dough into the tart pan to prevent sticking.
Pressing the crust after initial baking helps create a denser, sturdier base for the filling.
Feel free to substitute or add fruits based on seasonal availability and personal preference.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
Allow the tart to chill well before slicing to maintain clean slices.
This tart is best served within 24 hours for freshness.
