Ingredients
- 1 pre-made tart crust store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
- 1/2 cup berry curd can be homemade or store-bought
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Crust: If using a store-bought tart crust, follow package instructions for pre-baking. If making a homemade crust, prepare and bake according to your recipe, then allow to cool completely.
- Fill with Berry Curd: Once the tart crust is cooled, spread the berry curd evenly across the bottom, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Top with Fresh Berries: Arrange the mixed berries on top of the berry curd, creating a vibrant and colorful layer.
- Make the Citrus Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the berries for a glossy finish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the tart for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use any combination of fresh berries based on availability and preference. Adjust the amount of powdered sugar for a thicker or thinner glaze. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for the best freshness. Use a dairy-free tart crust and ensure the berry curd is made without butter.
