Equipment
- 1 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Tart Filling
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Crust
- 1 store-bought pie crust
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. This will ensure that it is ready for baking once you have assembled your tart.
- Remove the store-bought crust from its packaging and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim any excess dough, and use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust.
Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed fresh berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss until the berries are evenly coated.
Assembly
- Pour the berry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Ensure that the berries are dispersed uniformly across the tart.
Baking
- Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Cooling
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This allows the filling to set properly.
Serving
- Once cooled, remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an added treat.
Storage
- Cover any leftover tart with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to five days.
