(Courtesy of Kraft)

Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (1/2 of 17.3 oz. package), thawed
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) vanilla instant pudding mix
1 c. cold milk
1 c. whipped topping, thawed
1 square Baker's white chocolate
1 c. quartered fresh strawberries
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained
1 kiwi, peeled, sliced and halved
3 Tbsp. apricot preserves
2 tsp. water

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Unroll pastry on baking sheet.  Fold over edges of pastry to form 1/2 inch rim; press firmly to base to seal.  Prick pastry sheet with a fork.  Bake 10-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.  Cool completely.  Place on tray.  

Beat pudding mix and milk in a large bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes.  Stir in whipped topping; spread onto pastry.

Melt chocolate as directed on package.  Arrange fruit over pudding mixture.  Mix preserves and water; brush onto fruit.  Drizzle with chocolate.  Let stand until chocolate is firm.

Note~  Can substitute orange marmalade or pineapple preserves for the apricot preserves.
