Kiwi Tart

Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) round of refrigerated pie dough (from a 15-oz package), thawed and unrolled or unfolded (or make your own with a recipe like this)
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened slightly
  • 2 tbl  sugar
  • 2 tbl milk
  • 1 tsp finely grated fresh lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 firm-ripe kiwifruit, peeled and thinly sliced

Recipe

Blind bake the crust

1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Fit dough into 8 3/4- to 9 1/4-inch tart pan, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge.

2. Lightly prick bottom and side of shell with a fork. Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or uncooked rice.

3. Bake until edge is pale golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden all over, about 5 minutes more. Cool shell in pan on a rack, about 20 minutes.

Filling

1. Beat together cream cheese, sugar, milk, zest, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Spread cream cheese filling in cooled shell and top with kiwi slices. Tart can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
