Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until a dough forms.

Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides.

Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden; cool completely.

Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled tart shell.

Arrange fresh fruit on top of the cream layer in a decorative pattern.

Heat gelatin with a bit of water until dissolved; brush over the fruit to glaze.

Chill the tart for at least 1 hour before serving.
