Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Ingredients:
- 1 kiwi fruit
Primary Filling Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet key lime cheese ball mix
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) refrigerated pie crust
Instructions
- Craft the foundation by pressing the pie crust into a 10-inch tart pan or 9-inch pie plate following package guidelines, ensuring an even, smooth surface.
- Allow the crust to cool completely at room temperature, creating a solid base for the filling.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend cream cheese with Key Lime Cheese Ball Mix using an electric mixer until the texture becomes airy and uniformly integrated.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, stirring until the mixture achieves a silky, consistent appearance.
- Carefully distribute the zesty key lime filling across the cooled crust, creating an even layer that reaches the edges.
- Refrigerate the tart for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the filling to solidify and flavors to meld together.
- Just before serving, embellish the tart with precisely diced or elegantly sliced kiwi pieces, adding a vibrant and fresh visual and flavor accent.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Use fresh kiwi for vibrant color and maximum flavor punch.
- Chill the tart pan beforehand to help the crust set faster and prevent soggy bottom.
- Swap whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a more natural, less processed dessert option.
