CREAM CHEESE FRUIT TART
I always get so many compliments whenever I serve this tart. It looks like something you would get in a bakery and is a breeze to fix! It's light and refreshing--the ladies love it and it's one of my boy's favorite desserts! Originally from an Imperial Sugar advertisement I cut from a magazine years ago.

Steps:
- In small bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon peel and juice.
- Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spread over baked pie crust.
- Chill at least 1 hour.
- Several hours before serving, arrange fruit on filling.
- I like to use the strawberries nearest the rim of the pie shell, then a ring of overlapping kiwi slices, then a ring of mandarin oranges followed with a "bull's-eye" of the crushed pineapple in the center.
- Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
- You may substitute whatever your favorite fruit or berries are for the topping.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH FRUIT & CREAM CHEESE (BAKED)
Came up with this as a quick and filling breakfast while I was pregnant. The whole family loves it. I've found the leftovers are a little better because the flavors have a chance to blend more. It looks like a lot but it's actually quick & easy to put together. Please follow the steps for mixing ingredients as they're listed... This prevents the "floating" of the dry ingredients and makes for a smooth & blended caramel colored egg mix. Also, I always spread the cream cheese & pie filling over the bread slices rather than pouring it on top so they end up as "sandwiches". We dish them out as sandwiches but have to eat with forks :)
