\n- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and butter. \u00a0Pulse until crumbly, then add the ice water. Flatten dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Preheat oven to 350\u00ba, on a floured surface, roll out dough, and ease into a 9\u2033 tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until pale gold. Let cool.<\/li>\n
- Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each addition, until smooth. With a pastry brush, brush a thin layer of chocolate on the bottom of the crust. This helps to keep the crust from getting soggy. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate hardens.<\/li>\n
- Place cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in the food processor, mix until \u00a0smooth. Spread filling into tart shell, top with fruit. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
