How to Make Glazed Kiwi Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare your pie crust: either use a store-bought 9-inch pie crust or follow your preferred pate sucree recipe (such as Recipe #483065 from Real Simple).
  3. Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry shell with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes, or according to package directions, until lightly golden.
  4. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Gently fold in 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream until just combined.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled pastry shell.
  8. Peel 2-3 kiwis and thinly slice them using a paring knife.
  9. Arrange the kiwi slices on top of the cream cheese filling, overlapping slightly to create a beautiful pattern.
  10. For the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup (60g) apricot preserves and 1 tablespoon water. Heat over low heat, stirring until the preserves are melted and smooth.
  11. Let the glaze cool slightly.
  12. Carefully spoon the glaze over the arranged kiwi slices.
  13. Refrigerate the tart for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set.
