Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and confectioners' sugar. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Add the eggs to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges of the dough and press it into the corners of the pan.
4
Spread the almond paste evenly over the bottom of the tart shell. Arrange the fresh fruits on top of the almond paste in a colorful pattern.
5
Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
