KIWI STRAWBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
• Mix the crust ingredients, using only enough milk to get the consistency you want.
• On a sheet of wax paper, roll the dough out into a large circle. Use the wax paper to gently flip the crust into a 9-inch tart pan. Sprinkle a little flour on the bottom of the crust dough and set aside.
• Combine all cake ingredients, beginning with the dry. Pour cake batter over the crust dough.
• Bake for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the instant pudding and refrigerate.
• Next, wash and chop the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwis.
• Once all components are ready and the crust has cooled to room temperature, you can assemble the tart.
• Use a spatula to smooth the pudding evenly over the cake layer.
• Place the fruit on top in any pattern you like. I typically start in the center and work my way outwards. Finally, sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top of the fruit.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate. It should last a day or two in the fridge.
