For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a hint of almond extract to the cream cheese frosting. Feel free to get creative with your fruit arrangement! Other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or kiwi can also be used. The cookie crust can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you don't have cream of tartar, you can substitute with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar.

Feb 28, 2025The crust was a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar in the crust by 1/4 cup.
