A few weeks ago I shared my favorite Brown Sugar Shortbread cookie recipe and I mentioned that I like to use it as a tart base sometimes!  THIS is that tart!  Cream cheese frosting and all the fresh fruit you’d like make this a great treat that both adults and kids will like!

We obviously like a lot of berries at our house, but you can add ANY fruit to this, That’s part of the fu!  You can even cut up a ton of fruit and let the kids make their own.  Decorating this tart is actually half the fun in my opinion!

Start with the shortbread recipe and press it into the bottom half of a tart pan a 1/3 of an inch thick.  Make sure you prick the bottom with your fork, deeper than we did for the cookies, it’s not about pretty fork detail this time, it’s about even cooking

What fruit would you put on your tart? Obviously we love strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. But my kids also like banana’s (blech – you guys know about my banana issues, right?). My sister likes kiwi’s, blueberries, mandarin oranges.
