Plougastel Tart

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Roll out pre-made pie crust on a floured surface. Press into a 9-inch tart pan and trim edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until just set. Remove from oven and let cool.
4. In a bowl, combine the prepared strawberries and raspberries.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the berry mixture and toss to evenly coat.
6. Spread the berry mixture into the cooled crust.
7. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until steaming. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla. Pour the hot cream over the egg mixture, whisking to combine. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
8. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and smooth.
9. Pour the custard over the berry mixture in the tart pan.
10. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Verdict:

This Plougastel Tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The mixture of strawberries and raspberries is sweet and tangy, while the custard adds a rich, creamy texture. The buttery crust is the perfect complement to the filling.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the tart with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
