Vanilla Cream Tarts with Fresh Raspberries

Print Recipe

Delight in these easy-to-make Vanilla Cream Tarts, filled with luscious cream and topped with fresh raspberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
  • Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Tart Shell: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and mix until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and stir until combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until it forms a dough.
  2. Chill the Dough: Wrap your dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
  5. Shape the Tarts: Press the dough into your tart pans and poke a few holes in the bottom to prevent puffing.
  6. Pre-bake the Shells: Line each shell with parchment paper and fill it with weights. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden, then remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Make the Vanilla Cream Filling: In a saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Cook until thickened and bubbling (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Chill the Cream: Remove from heat, cool slightly, then pour into tart shells and chill for at least 2 hours.
  9. Decorate with Raspberries: Top each tart with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. You can also substitute coconut cream for a lighter filling.
