Mixed berry Tart.

To finally celebrate summer in Canada, I will be teaching you how to make a beautiful mixed berry tart it’s great to serve anytime in the summer, super easy to make and you can also make it at night, so you can serve it the next day when it has completely cooled down. 

Mixed berry Tart.

Things you need:

10 inch false-bottom tart pan.

Things you need for the tart crust:

3/4 cups of salted butter at room temperature.

1/2 cup or regular sugar.

1/2 tsp of Vanilla extract.

Things you need for the tart filling:

1 cup of mixed berry jam.

1 & 1/2 cups of whipping cream.

Total of 4 packs assortments of berries

Execute:

First thing you do is preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

In a mixer bowl mix the butter and sugar together until they come together nicely, add in the vanilla extract give it another mix scrape down the sides and give it another mix. In a separate bowl sift together the flour and the we do that so if there are any lumps in the flour it just disappears. Turn on the mixer back to medium low speed and gradually start adding the flour until you get a dough, pour the dough down on a floured surface and bring the dough together until you get a rounded flat disk. Move it to the tart pan press the dough around the edges and set it in the fridge until it firms up. It usually takes about an hour and half for it to firm up nicely.

Once the dough has firmed up you need to bake it, cover the tart crust with aluminum foil and fill it with raw beans and make sure they fill the crust completely that will prevent the crust from bubbling up or to lose its shape. Bake the crust for 20 minutes take out remove the foil and the beans gently with a fork poke the crust bake again until the whole crust is golden brown. Take it out and allow it to completely cool down to room temperature.

For the filling is way easier than that, beat up the whipping cream until you get a gorgeous fluffy cloud, cut in half a vanilla bean and extract the seeds out and fold them with the whipped cream. With the mixed berry jam pour it into the crust until its almost half way up. Add the whipped cream just until the edges of the crust put it in the fridge to cool down for about 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with the fresh berries and set in fridge until ready to serve.
