Ingredients

375g digestive biscuits
75g softened, unsalted butter
400g cream cheese, at room temperature
240g ready-made lemon curd, at room temperature
125g fresh blueberries
125g fresh blackberries
125g fresh raspberries
125g fresh redcurrants or pomegranate seeds
125G fresh small strawberries (half of them hulled, remaining half with stalks intact)

Handy Hint

Use fresh fruit and you can't go wrong - the kids will love it!

Method

1. Process the biscuits and the butter to a sandy rubble in a food processor, then press the mixture into the sides and bottom of the tart tin.
2. Place in the freezer for about 10–15 minutes, or if no freezer the fridge for 30 mins.
3. Clean the bowl of the food processor, then whizz together the cream cheese and lemon curd and spread it over the bottom of the chilled tart tin, covering the base of the tart evenly. Alternatively, mix the cream cheese and lemon curd together by hand.
4. Arrange all of the fruit gently (so that it doesn't sink into the filling too much) on top of the lemony cream cheese in a decorative manner.
5. Place the tart in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. It needs to get properly cold in order to set enough for the tart to be unsprung and sliced easily.

Made it today and used marscapone instead of cream cheese. Hope it sets enough to hold the fruit on the surface !!!

Shouldn't this be credited as being a Nigella recipe as it's word-for-word hers? But it is indeed very good. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/no-fuss_fruit_tart_11008
