Tips on Making Raspberry Tart

With our simple and straightforward recipe, you’ll realize that making a rustic fruit tart is easy, even for beginners. We also gathered more helpful tips to ensure that you will make a perfect one every time.

  • Thaw the puff pastry in the fridge so that it’s manageable, but don’t let it stay at room temperature for too long. Otherwise, the layers of fat and flour will melt, which means they won’t be able to hold up the filling very well.
  • Use store-bought pre-made tart shells to skip a few steps, if you want. For frozen tart shells, check the package instructions if it needs pre-baking. Once they’re ready to use, you may proceed to brushing it with egg yolk and preparing the raspberry filling.
  • Use fresh raspberries with a deep red color and a firm and plump feel. Avoid using mashed, watery, or frozen raspberries as these will make your tart soggy. You can also mix it with blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries, for instance. 
  • Keep the filling at room temperature to help them cook more evenly.
  • Use fresh whipped cream for topping. Toss in fresh vanilla bean seeds and a couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar. It’ll taste better and the black seeds against the white cream will add visual interest to your dessert.
  • Make a chocolate raspberry tart by mixing the whipping cream with melted chocolate and topping it with chocolate shavings.
