Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 tart pans.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.

Step 3

Glaze the entire top of each tart gently using a pastry brush.

Step 4

Make crust: Blend together flour, butter, and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until combined. Divide mixture evenly and press into the bottoms of the prepared tart pans.

Step 5

While crusts are cooling, make filling: Beat together cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crusts.

Step 6

Add topping: Arrange strawberries, blackberries, and kiwis over filling in desired design.

Step 7

Make glaze: Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Pour in water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until clear and thick, about 2 minutes. Let glaze cool completely.
