Spread soft dough inside and up the sides of entire tart pan with fingers.
- Bake in the oven on the middle rack at 400° for 8 to 10 min. or until light brown around the top. Let cool in pan.
When cool enough to handle, push the bottom of the tart pan out of the ring. Slide onto a cooling rack. Let the tart cool completely.
- Carefully slide the tart onto a serving dish.
While the tart cools, make the cream cheese topping. With an electric hand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, extract and cream until thick and creamy.
- Spread evenly over top the cooled crust.
Prepare the fruit of choice and decorate the tart. A nice way is to do one row around in one kind of fruit, one in another, etc. Whatever combination you like or all the same fruit.
- Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and chill up to 6 hours.
