Print Recipe

A light and elegant dessert featuring a buttery tart crust filled with vanilla whipped cream and topped with fresh seasonal fruits like peaches, apples, kiwi, strawberries, and poached rhubarb. Ideal for summer gatherings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1–2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 peach, sliced
  • 1/2 apple, sliced
  • 1 kiwi, sliced
  • 2 strawberries, quartered
  • 1/4 cup rhubarb, lightly poached
  • Optional: mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the tart base: In a food processor, blend flours and sugar. Add butter and pulse until crumbly. Add egg yolk and cold water. Mix until dough forms.
  2. Shape dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough and press into tart pans or cut into rounds.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  5. Prepare whipped cream: Beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  6. Assemble the tart: Place tart shell on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the base.
  7. Arrange the sliced fruits and poached rhubarb on top of the whipped cream.
  8. Garnish with mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make tart shells a day ahead and store in an airtight container.
  • Use any seasonal fruits available—berries and citrus segments work great too.
  • For added shine, brush fruit with a light apricot glaze.
  • Mini tart versions are great for parties or buffets.
