Not a crumb left! The only thing I changed in the ingredients was adding ~2tsp (1 lemon worth) of zest to the crust. It really added a nice citrus flavor (and justified buying a lemon for 1/2 tsp of juice). I only used 1/4 cup of glaze, and I also modified a couple steps. First, I've always had issues combining things with melted white chocolate; it always clumps up because it cools too much. For this recipe, I added the chips and cream to the bowl of my stand mixer and set it over boiling water. I mixed until smooth and then whipped using the mixer until it cooled off a bit. Then I threw in the cream cheese 1-2 ounces at a time and whipped on medium until it was smooth. The result was so creamy and light! I also prepped each part of the recipe and stored them separately in the fridge overnight, then assembled a couple hours before serving because I was afraid it would get soggy. The results were terrific. Oh, one more thing...the smaller the fruit the more impressive the design looks.

Every time I make this I get requests for the recipe and everyone loves it! It is easy to make but takes a bit of time, especially getting the fruit cut up.

Refridgerating the butter crust for a few minutes definitely helped make it easier to press into the pan.

My butter was softened to room temp, but I still had problems with the dough being too soft to press into the tart pan. It wanted to stick to my spatula. I tried using my fingers rubbed with a little butter without luck. I ended up chilling the dough for about 20 minutes to gain a little firmness. We'll see if that helps.
