- For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 egg yolk
- 1–2 tablespoons ice water
- For the raspberry filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- For the whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Topping:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan.
- In a bowl, mix flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and enough ice water to form a dough.
- Press dough into the tart pan. Prick the base with a fork and bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.
- For the raspberry filling, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened (5–7 minutes). Cool slightly before spreading into the crust.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled raspberry layer.
- Top with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar.
- Chill for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries when in season for the best flavor and presentation.
- Ensure the tart shell is fully cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting the cream.
- Can be made a few hours ahead and chilled until serving.
