Quick cooking notes

  • Core ingredients include granulated sugar, mixed berries, vanilla extract, salt.
  • Follow all 12 steps in order for the intended texture and doneness.
  • Ingredient quantities listed below are for 6 servings.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries))
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 cups heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the egg yolk and enough cold water to form a dough.
  5. Press the dough into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  7. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
  9. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
  10. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
  11. Pour the custard into the cooled tart crust and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  12. Once set, top the tart with fresh mixed berries and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
