steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla. Pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Press the dough evenly into a greased tart pan and bake for 15 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Spread the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust, creating an even layer. Arrange the fresh fruits on top of the filling, creating an enticing pattern.

In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves over low heat until melted. Brush the melted preserves over the fruits to give them a glossy finish.

Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour to set. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy this Fluffy Fruits Birthday Tart!
