Fruit Tart

From: Shelly...
Mix together:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powder sugar
1 1/2 cup whipped cream (measurement is before it has been whipped)
Crust:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 t. lemon juice
1 t. salt 
1/4 t. baking powder
1 T sugar
1/4 cup butter 
1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco

5 T ice water (more or less, your looking for a good cookie dough consistency)


Mix together all but the first 5 ingredients, then cut in the fat and the water. Roll out your dough and fit this in a pie pan, poke holes in the bottom and the sides.  Refrigerate this for about 20 min. or until it has chilled. Bake the crust at 400 degrees for approx. 15 min. or until lightly golden brown. 
Let the crust cool and then spread your cream cheese mixture down carefully, place fresh fruit and then coat with a jam glaze. (Jam glaze is a couple of good scoops of jam thinned with 1 T. water and then heated till it becomes thin).  Serve chilled.
