Phyllo Fruit Tart is a light and elegant dessert featuring crisp buttery layers of phyllo pastry filled with a creamy vanilla-citrus filling and topped with vibrant fresh fruit. Perfect for brunches, celebrations, and warm-weather gatherings, this tart is both refreshing and visually stunning.

Ingredients

  • 8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 mandarin orange, segmented
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves (optional glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon water (optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan.
  2. Place one sheet of phyllo dough into the pan and lightly brush with melted butter.
  3. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets, rotating them slightly to create decorative edges and brushing each layer with butter.
  4. Press the phyllo gently into the tart pan and trim any excessively long edges.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  7. Beat together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  8. Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust.
  9. Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries, and mandarin segments decoratively over the filling.
  10. If using the glaze, heat the apricot preserves and water until smooth and lightly brush over the fruit.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  12. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Keep unused phyllo sheets covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent drying out.
  • Fresh fruit provides the best appearance and texture.
  • The crust can be baked a day in advance and stored at room temperature.
  • Try seasonal fruits such as peaches, mangoes, grapes, or blackberries.
  • Store assembled tart in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
