Print Recipe

An easy and elegant fruit tart inspired by the bright, celebratory vibe of a mimosa bar, featuring a buttery crust, creamy citrus-infused filling, and a vibrant fresh fruit topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2–3 tablespoons ice water
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons sparkling wine or champagne (optional)
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh kiwi slices
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam (warmed and strained for shine, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust dough: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  2. Add ice water little by little, stirring until dough clumps together. Gather into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing into edges without stretching. Trim excess dough. Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  4. Bake crust at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, then bake 5-7 more minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  5. Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, orange juice, orange zest, and sparkling wine; mix until combined and fluffy.
  6. Spread filling evenly into cooled crust, smoothing the top.
  7. Arrange fresh fruit in a vibrant pattern, starting with strawberries, then kiwi, grapes, and blueberries.
  8. Optional glaze: Warm apricot jam with a splash of water until runny. Brush gently over fruit for shine.
  9. Chill tart for at least 1 hour before serving to set filling and meld flavors. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill dough well before rolling to prevent shrinking and tough crust. Blind bake crust to avoid sogginess. Use cold butter chunks for flakiness. Add fruit just before serving for best texture. Optional to brush cooled crust with melted white chocolate or apricot jam as moisture barrier. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free cream cheese for dietary needs.
