Heat oven to 350. In a food processor, grind the nuts until the consistency of sawdust. Add the sugar and pulse to continue. Add the flour, baking soda & salt and pulse thoroughly. Add the melted butter thru the food chute and pulse until mixed.
Place the tart pan on a baking sheet. Spray pan with Pam & put the crust mixture in and press to the sides and bottom. Bake for 13 minutes; it will not look done but if you bake it longer it will toughen. Let cool.
Using the food processor, combine the cream cheese and confectioners sugar. Add the whipped topping and pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to the cooled crust and refrigerate 2 hours.
Top with fruit.
When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and let sit for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
