Topped with a drizzle of melted white baking chocolate, this tart is a delightful no-bake dessert that impresses with its texture contrast and vibrant flavors, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Phyllo Base

  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp oil (any neutral oil such as avocado)
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough (14 x 9 inches)

Filling

  • 8 ounces light cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Fruit Topping

  • 1 11-oz can mandarin oranges (drained or 2 to 3 fresh, peeled)
  • 4 kiwifruit (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 oz white baking chocolate (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and neutral oil thoroughly to create a brushing mixture for the phyllo.
  2. Layer Phyllo Dough: Place one sheet of phyllo dough onto a baking sheet and brush evenly with the butter and oil mixture. Repeat this layering and brushing with all eight sheets to build a crisp, flaky base.
  3. Bake Phyllo Base: Bake the phyllo layers in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the phyllo has turned golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely to prevent the filling from melting.
  4. Make Cream Cheese Filling: While the phyllo cools, beat the light cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated and well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping to lighten the filling.
  5. Assemble Tart: Spread the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled phyllo base, creating a smooth layer ready for the fruit.
  6. Add Fresh Fruit: Arrange the drained mandarin oranges, peeled and sliced kiwifruit, and sliced strawberries attractively over the cream cheese layer to decorate the tart with vibrant colors and fresh flavors.
  7. Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt the white baking chocolate in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning. Drizzle the melted chocolate artistically over the topped fruit to enhance taste and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the phyllo base is completely cooled before adding the filling to avoid melting and sogginess.
  • You can substitute the fruit with seasonal fresh fruit according to preference or availability.
  • Melt the white chocolate slowly to prevent burning and ensure a smooth drizzle.
  • For a dairy-free version, consider using dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping alternatives.
  • This tart is best served chilled and consumed within 24 hours to maintain crispness of phyllo and freshness of fruit.
