I made this and it turned out fantastic. I used fresh pineapple instead of canned and pureed some of the fruit for the juice. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

I made this last night for my bridge club...they loved it! I followed the recipe but added some raspberries and blueberries. From the reviews, some have not bothered to make the glaze, however, I feel it's easy to make and really gives it a professional finish (also helps to hold it together nicely). I'm adding this to my favorites. I look forward to experimenting with different fruits...maybe peaches, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple. Thank you Claire for sharing this recipe.

I made these using 4in tart pans and the crust just made it for 6 tarts. I wasn't able to get the dough up the sides for a traditional tart and it appeared more layered. So keeping all the ingredients the same I cooked it for 30 mins as directed and the crust came out perfect. We didn't eat the tarts right away and the following night they were not soggy at all! It was a birthday hit. Very delicate with a buttery crust, creamy filling and tart fruit.

Whenever I make this dessert, everyone always asks for the recipe. It is really good. Takes a bit of time to make, but totally worth it. I like to mix up the fruits I use.

Very yummy! I did change up the fruit and used all fresh fruit instead of canned. Used green and red grapes, blueberries, pineapple, kiwis and raspberries. I also used a ready made tart case, only because I found it in the back of the cupboard and it needed to be used up. Tip - Make sure you LOAD the fruit on. The filling is very rich and you need alot of fruit to balance it. I laid the fruit in a single layer and it wasn't enough. Will be making this again and again I'm sure.

This recipe was so easy. I was lazy and did the base with lemon pudding instead of the white chocolate. Next time I will try the white chocolate.. Thumbs Up for this one. My family loved it.

My fruit tart came out pretty good. You must plan ahead. Fill the tart the day before and the day of place the fresh fruit on top. The tart will absorb the moisture and be much easier and less mess when you cut it. Also, I would'nt mix canned fruit with fresh, I feel it ruins the quality and appearence of the tart.

Excellent. I didn't have the right sized pan so I used a 9" spring form instead. I think next time I would do half of the crust as it was a bit too thick.

Absolutely delicious desert! I was short on time so I cheated and used store bought mini graham cracker tart crusts. They turned out great! Will definitely use this recipe again.

Wow! Is this recipe ever good. The crust, the filling...it is just wonderful. I didn't do the glaze and instead I sprinkled some sugar and icing sugar on top. It was just right. I will be making this again.

I love fruit tarts, and I have tried a lot from a variety of places, some good, others bad. But this was really THE BEST I have ever eaten! The crust should get 10 stars, and the filling has a good balance of sweetness (white chocolate) and creamy flavour (from the cream cheese). We substituted the fresh strawberries, which of course were impossible to find at this time of year, with canned sour cherries. It was elegant, impressive and delicious. This recipe will be saved to my personal "hall of fame". Try it, try it now!

Wow! Excellent! Made for hubby's birthday and he loved it & so did everyone else. I know several reviewers had problems with the crust, but, I thought it was excellent---very shortbread like. It's not like a pie crust, so, I didn't even bother rolling it out because it was way too soft. I just dropped it in my pan and took a spatula (used my finger too) and pushed it around the pan & up the sides until it was even--really didn't take much time at all. The only mistake I made was that I didn't thicken the glaze enough, next time I'll cook it longer--the tart still came out excellent.

The filling and fruit was great, the crust was awkwardly difficult to cut! The dough here needs an improvement. I baked till just turning golden on the edges as instructed so I am not sure what the problem was. The crusts flavor was great but it was just too hard to get in individual portions. I think this would be best as tartlets. Next time I will try a different recipe or at least a different crust but the taste was yummy. Be sparing if doing lemon juice topping... In retrospect, mine was a little drippy.

Holy wow, wow, wow! This was super easy, had a great wow factor with the fruit layered all pretty and all my guests loved it. Only thing I changed was I made double the crust & baked in a pie pan. Excellent!

I received raving reviews for this. I did alter the recipe to make two 11 inch tarts. What I would do different next time is I would probably add a bit more whipping cream to make it a bit smoother. I had a bit of a problem making the crust. It came out looking perfectly, but it was a pain trying to mold it into the tart pan since it was too soft. I fixed that by refrigerating the mixture, however, it was then too hard to mold. There was much pain in this process, but well worth the effort.

Everyone loved it for my dinner party. I melted the chocolate in the microwave - quite easy and less risk of burning it. I didn't have time to make the glaze, so just sprinkled it with sugar and a light sprinkling of pineapple juice, and it was still tasty. Tastes like a mix between white chocolate and cheesecake. Pre-baked the crust a little, and it had an appealing crunch.
