Recipe for Cream Cheese Tarts with Fruit

Fruit Tart Recipe Using
Store Purchased Pastry Shells

These Cream Cheese Tarts with Fruit are easy and quick to make using store-purchased pastry shells.

Of course, you can use your own yummy homemade pastry instead if you wish!

Fruit and cream over a layer of semi-sweet chocolate, these tantalizing tarts are amazing!

Our daughter, Karissa, loves to bake, for which I am thankful! This past Saturday she made these lovely, fresh, scrumptiously delicious fruit tarts!

They are made using peaches and raspberries, however you can use any fresh fruit to make an assortment of delicious fruit tarts! (The peaches my daughter used for this recipe were actually canned peaches).

We had family over on Sunday, and all the tarts are now gone ... so ... you know they tasted like "more"!

Thanks Karissa, and thanks for taking the pics for me!

Add the vanilla extract and beat again until combined.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate in the tart shells.

Chill until set, about 1 hour.

Place the raspberries, (or other fruit), (make sure large fruit is sliced), in a bowl, and drizzle with the jelly preserves.
