Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create this masterpiece:

1. Prepare the Crust:

   • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and fluffy.
   • Gradually beat in the flour until a crumbly mixture forms.
   • Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of a greased 12-inch pizza pan.
   • Bake the crust at 300°F (150°C) for 25-28 minutes, or until lightly browned.
   • Allow the crust to cool completely.

2. Make the Filling:

   • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
   • Melt the margarine and chocolate chips together, then beat into the cream cheese until well combined and creamy.
   • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
   • Chill the crust and filling for 30 minutes to set.

3. Prepare the Fruit Topping:

   • Arrange the fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the chilled filling in a visually appealing pattern, starting with the raspberry in the center.

4. Create the Glaze:

   • In a saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
   • Boil for 2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a glossy glaze consistency.
   • Remove the glaze from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

5. Final Touches:

   • Brush the prepared glaze over the arranged fruit, ensuring each berry is coated for a shiny finish.
   • Chill the tart for an additional 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
   • For the best taste and texture, serve the tart on the same day it’s made, delighting in its freshness and decadence.
