Allow to cool.Mix cream cheese until smooth & fluffy. Mix in Cool Whip. Add a touch of Vanilla or Almond extract if desired. Spread "sauce" on cooled crust.Arrange fruit decoratively on top of cream cheese mixture. A good idea to make serving easier is to lay out the kiwi fruit in the center of each piece, then arrange the other fruits on or around it, leaving a little bit of exposed filling in between.Mix the apricot spread and water together. Use a spoon or basting brush to cover the fruit. This will help keep fruit from turning colors.Keep refrigerated until time to serve.
