This straightforward berry tart includes a do-it-yourself, sugar cookie-like crust and a scrumptious, jammy berry filling. I like it with ice cream or whipped cream!

Typically, the only desserts actually are the very best, which is the argument for making this straightforward berry tart. You’ll create a easy, candy tart crust and bake it stuffed with recent blueberries and strawberries till they bubble and soften right into a jammy filling. Then, you’ll take it excessive with a little bit of berry jam brushed over the tart for extra fruit taste!
What makes the crust particular is that it’s extra like a buttery sugar cookie than a standard flaky pie crust. Merely add butter, sugar, and eggs to a meals processor, then pulse within the flour. It comes collectively extremely quick, is splendidly straightforward, and tastes unbelievable with the berry filling.
Key Components
- Candy Tart Crust: This sweeter tart dough is admittedly scrumptious and jogs my memory of a cookie relatively than a conventional pie crust. It combines butter, sugar, flour, salt, and eggs. Within the recipe, we ask that you just separate one of many eggs and solely add the yolk, then course of and see how nicely the dough holds collectively. You may add the reserved egg white if it’s somewhat crumbly.
- Berries: Our pictures present a blueberry and strawberry tart, however be happy to toss in different berries, like blackberries or raspberries. Cherries can be beautiful, too. I want recent berries for this tart. In case you use frozen, the filling could also be extra moist than in our pictures.
- Lime and Sugar: I exploit somewhat granulated sugar for the berry filling and the zest and juice of 1 lime. You should utilize lemon if that’s all you’ve gotten.
- Jam: See how shiny the tart seems to be in our pictures? That’s because of somewhat warmed jam brushed excessive earlier than serving. Use what you’re keen on. Some readers swear by raspberry jam for this, which sounds wonderful.
- Further Butter: I really like dotting some additional butter over the berries earlier than baking. The butter melts and trickles down via the filling because the tart bakes.

My final tip for this tart is that our do-it-yourself tart dough is well made upfront. So, you may make the dough sooner or later and bake the tart one other. Usually, if nicely wrapped, it stays within the fridge for two days or within the freezer for a month!
