Step 2

Prepare the Filling: -In a bowl, beat melted chips and cream. -Add cream cheese, beat until smooth. -Spread over already baked and cooled crust. -Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3

Prepare the Topping: -Cut and arrange the fruits of your choice over the filling.
Step 4

Prepare the Glaze: -In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. -Stir in lemon juice. -If the glaze is lumpy; Add pineapple juice until smooth (or any juice available). -Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. -Cool. -Brush the fruits with the glaze. -Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. *You can substitute this glaze with jello, much simpler and gives a great finish.
