EASY BERRY FRUIT TART

Easy Berry Fruit Tart is one of our favorite warm weather desserts. I start this tart by stirring together an easy tart dough. Then, I make a sweet berry filling. We like this tart for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this tart in just about one hour. Secondly, I like that I can make all the components of this tart ahead of time. Then, I just assemble it right before serving time. Thirdly, I like that this recipe uses ingredients that I usually already have in the house. That makes this recipe inexpensive to prepare. And, lastly, we all love the buttery dough and the sweet berries.

The Equipment I Used

• A Food Processor-If you want to, you can make the dough in your food processor.
• A Pastry Blender- Use this to cut the butter into the flour. You can also use your hands to do this.

The Ingredients Needed for Easy Berry Fruit Tart

• Berries- Wash and dry the fruit well. I like to use organic berries for the best flavor.
• Flour- Use all-purpose flour. I like the King Arthur brand of flour.
• Butter- Your butter should be very cold for best tart dough results. I like to use Kerry Gold Irish butter.
• Sour Cream- Use full fat sour cream. I like the Breakstone’s brand.
• Parchment Paper- Use this to roll out the dough.

How I Made my Tarts

• First, I made the dough. This dough is very forgiving. You can reroll it if you need to. Roll it out between two sheets of floured parchment paper.
• Next, I made the filling. You can do this a few hours ahead of time.
• Then, I placed the berries on the dough and fold it over the berries.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For the tart filling:

• 2 cups halved strawberries
• ½ cup blueberries
• ½ cup blackberries
• 1 tbsp. granulated sugar

For the Tart Crust:

• 1½ cups all purpose flour (180g)
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. granulated sugar
• 8 tbsp. cold unsalted butter (112g)
• 1 tbsp. sour cream
• ¼ cup ice water
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp. Demera sugar

Instructions

 

• Begin by making the tart dough: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt. using a pastry cutter, cut the butter and sour cream into the flour, until the flour is fully incorporated, and everything is the size of peas. Add the ice water, starting with one tablespoon. Stir it in with a fork. You may not need all the water. Just stir in enough water, until a scraggly dough is formed. Empty the dough onto a floured board and shape the dough into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1½ hours.
• On floured parchment paper, roll out the disc of dough, covered with more parchment paper, into a 15-inch round. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the berries and sugar and place in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch bare border. Use the parchment to lift up a three-inch portion of the dough and fold it over the fruit. Repeat with the rest of the dough to create pleats. Brush the pleated dough with one egg mixed with one tablespoon of water. Sprinkle with the sugar and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
