White Chocolate Fruit Tart/Pizza

Kim got this delicious fruit tart recipe from her mother-in-law, Barb some years back.  She had made it for a birthday party at their house so Kim asked for the recipe and passed it on to me.  I have only made it a handful of times since then, because it's something you definitely want to share..it's so good, but very rich and too yummy to have laying around tempting me.  Tomorrow is bosses day at work, so I am making it for a treat there, along with some other surprises people are doing for the day.  Once you make this you will be making it again and again.  It's the best fruit "pizza" I have ever had.

WHITE CHOCOLATE FRUIT TART/PIZZA:

CRUST:
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour

FILLING:
1 pkg. (10 ounces) vanilla (white chocolate) baking chips
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 pkg cream cheese softened

TOPPINGS:
1 can pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained-but save the juice)
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced, or fresh raspberries
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
2 kiwi fruit peeled and sliced in half

GLAZE:
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup of the reserved pineapple juice.

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Gradually add flour; mix well.  Press into an ungreased 11-1/2 in tart or 12 inch pizza pan.  Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool completely.

In a microwave safe bowl, microwave chips until melted.  do in short bursts so they don't scorch.  Beat in whipping cream.  Add softened cream cheese and beat until smooth.  Spread over the crust.  Chill 30 minutes.  Add fruit on top in circles around the center.

Bring glaze ingredients to a boil over medium heat for 2 minutes or until thick.  Brush glaze over fruit.  Chill for one hour.
