At home in Minnesota my friend Kelly’s mama makes the most delicious fruit tart on the face of this earth (or at least we think so)! I’m not ashamed to say that we could take down an entire pan.

(throwback to our beauteous high school days)

Jacque Jensen’s Fruit Tart

2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk

Cream together and spread over cooled cookie crust

Fruit
You can use whatever fruit is in season cut into bit sized pieces. Add on top of the cream cheese layer.
Glaze
½ cup of water

Enjoy!
