Soon after I got married to a husband who can't tolerate gluten in his diet, my family decided--independently of our influence--to try life without gluten. After finding that they had more energy, less allergies, and less digestive problems, they made the switch permanent. I certainly don't mind; it makes it easy for us when we visit!
The last time we visited, Mom made this mouth-watering fruit tart for my birthday that is quickly becoming my favorite dessert of all time. I asked her for the recipe, and then realized....hey! My bloggy friends might enjoy this too!
So here you go: I'm sharing the love.
INGREDIENTS:
- Gluten free cookie mix. (We used the Betty Crocker GF chocolate chip cookie found at WalMart in the regular cake section)
- 2/3 c. sifted powdered sugar
- 12 oz. softened cream cheese
- 1/2 c. whipping cream
- 1 T. orange juice
- Various fruits--whatever is pretty and in season
- Glaze:
- 2 T. apricot preserves
- 1/2 T. orange juice
Make the crust using GF cookie mix. Form it on a pizza pan with parchment paper under it. Bake according to box instructions.
Whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipping cream and 1 T. orange juice for the filling. Spoon onto cooled crust and chill 1-4 hours.
Arrange fruit on top such as kiwis, raspberries, strawberries, papaya.....
Heat topping ingredients until liquid. Drizzle over fruit. Enjoy!
NOTE: for those who are not gluten intolerant, you can of course use a normal cookie mix for the crust. :)
