- 2 -3 cups vanilla pudding (made from a box of instant pudding with whole milk or half and half add 1-2 tsp vanilla extract. See)

- 3 -4 cups fresh fruit
- 1⁄3 cup jelly (see Note 3) or 1/3 cup jam (see Note 3)
- 2 tablespoons Chambord raspberry liquor (or other liqueur (see Note 3) or 2 tablespoons framboise liqueur (or other liqueur (see Note 3)
-
Optional
- whipped cream, for the top
directions
- Have prepared one baked tart shell,see Note 1.
- Mix your pudding, cover and chill while you whip the cream.
- Fold about 1 cup of whipped cream into the pudding to lighten it then spread in your tart shell.
- Place your fruits of choice in a single layer of concentric circles on top of the filling, make it pretty: ).
- Melt 4-6 Tbls of jam with 1-2 Tbls. of a complimentary liquor, cool slightly and drizzle over the fruit.
- If you'd like serve, each slice with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
- Note 1: I like to use Recipe #272116, any other short bread or nut crust will do; avoid graham cracker crust as it won't compliment the flavors as well or be as sturdy as you want it to be.
- Note 2: Use the small box for an 8 or 9-inch crust and the big one for a 10-12-inch crust, you might have some left over.
- Note 3: Good jam choices raspberry, apple, peach or apricot jam, liqueur choices - chambord or framboise, kirsh, or fruit schnapps, like peach - use your culinary imagination.
- Note 4- If your crust cracks you can melt down some semi-sweet or dark chocolate with a little shortening or butter and spread a thin layer on the bottom of the crust to prevent cream leaks, this is good even when it doesn't crack, especially with bananas strawberrie and raspberries.
