What is the best policy? Honesty. So go ahead and admit that it's easier than it looks. With this buttery crust and creamy vanilla filling, no one will believe you anyway.

Great recipe, if it sits out too long it can become runny.

My only problem was with the tart pan. Instead of holding the pan by the sides, I touched the bottom and almost lost the tart. Ooops! Next time I will put the pan on a plate before I even add the crust and filling. Otherwise this was a wonderful dessert - light and pretty. I am going to have fun trying new flavors of pudding. (Lemon would be good.) Enjoy!

I just made this recipe today for the first time and I liked it alot! it was simple and easy and I was able to involve my 4 year old nephew in the preperation of this dessert. The only thing I had a hard time with was the crust. It seemed to fall apart so I dont know what I did wrong but I will try again next time to maybe add more butter..overall a good dessert!!!

Overall this was a great, simple dessert. I used sugar-free pudding and cool whip and my family still at it: ) Was good, but next time I wouldn't use the sugar-free ingredients. The crust is amazingly delicious!!!! I put strawberries, kiwis and blackberries on top-YUM!

I made this Vanilla-Almond Fruit Tart today 2/04/2010, it turned out alright. I had difficult with the crust. I thought it was too much for a 9" pan, so I put it in a ll" pan and I think it needed more butter because it was coming apart. Instead of the Vanilla, I replaced it with Chocolate but I had great reviews after. Everyone liked it.

Very tasty. I used blackberries because they were on sale. Very quick and easy with a lot of great flavor.
