Raspberry Cream Tart

A dreamy summer tart layered with buttery shortcrust pastry, a vibrant raspberry compote, and a fluffy whipped cream topping. Crowned with juicy whole raspberries and dusted with powdered sugar, it’s an elegant yet rustic dessert perfect for garden gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 12 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan.
  2. 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.
  3. Press dough into the tart pan. Prick the base with a fork and bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.
  4. 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.
  5. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled raspberry layer.
  6. Top with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar.
  7. 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.
