Ingredients
Instructions
-
PREPARE THE PIE CRUST
If using a pre-made crust, ensure it is thawed and ready. For a homemade crust, roll it out and place it in a pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges. Pre-bake the crust according to the package or recipe instructions, then cool it completely.
Tip: Use pie weights or dried beans when pre-baking to prevent the crust from puffing up.
-
MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE FILLING
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free filling.
-
PREPARE THE FRUITS
Wash and dry all the fresh fruits thoroughly. Slice larger fruits like strawberries, kiwi and mango into thin, even pieces. Leave smaller fruits like blueberries and raspberries whole. Arrange the fruits in a colorful, decorative pattern over the cream cheese layer.
Tip: Pat the fruits dry to prevent excess moisture from making the pie soggy.
-
MAKE THE APRICOT GLAZE
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves over low heat until melted and smooth. If the preserves are too thick, add a teaspoon of water to thin the mixture. Let it cool slightly.
Tip: Strain the glaze through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother finish.
-
GLAZE THE FRUITS
Using a pastry brush, gently brush the apricot glaze over the arranged fruits. This will add shine and help preserve the freshness of the fruits.
Tip: Apply the glaze lightly to avoid overpowering the natural flavors of the fruits.
-
GARNISH AND CHILL
Sprinkle fresh mint leaves over the top of the pie for a pop of color and freshness. Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tip: Chill the pie on a flat surface to prevent the filling from shifting.
-
SERVE
Once chilled, slice the pie into even portions and serve. Enjoy the vibrant, fruity flavors and creamy texture!
Tip: Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean, smooth slices.
