Make these super fancy, yet easy to make cheesecake fruit squares using store-bought puff pastry squares, topped with a homemade cheesecake layer and some sliced fruit. Bake and top with a tahini-lime drizzle that will add that extra bit of delicious flavor to these creamy filled crunchy treats. Click here for more Shortcuts by Family Table!
1 package Gefen Puff Pastry Squares
4-5 cups assorted fruit of your choice
1 large egg, mixed with a splash of water
turbinado cane or granulated sugar
2 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Sugar
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
4 tablespoons Mighty Sesame Tahini
4 tablespoons lime juice
4 tablespoons Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
To make the cheesecake mixture, place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until combined (I like to use an immersion blender.)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with Gefen Parchment Paper and set aside.
Lay out puff pastry squares on the baking sheets. Spread cheesecake filling to the pastry, leaving about a 1/2 inch border (no need to be precise). Top with fruit.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tarts are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Combine ingredients for Tahini Lime Drizzle. Drizzle over cooled squares and serve.
Brush with egg wash around the exterior of the square and sprinkle with sugar.

How can I do this as a parve version without cream cheese?
I think the only way to make the cheesecake layer would be to use parve cream cheese.
