Directions:Preheat oven to 350º.
Crust: Mix crumbs, nuts, sugar and butter in food processor fitted with metal blade until well combined. Press evenly over bottom and upsides of 11-inch tart pan with removeable bottom. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat again. Mix in vanilla and liqueur if you are using. In separate mixer with very clean beaters, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold carefully into cream cheese mixture and pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate several hours or until well chilled. You can at this point cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if desired.
Slice a variety of fresh fruit thinly and carefully place on top of tart in a decorative fashion. Boil apricot preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat for 1 minutes, stirring constantly. Push through a strainer into a bowl to remove large pieces. Brush generously with hot apricot preserves. Refrigerate until serving time. Before serving, removes sides of pan.
