cherry tart

This is the easiest Cherry Tart ever! With a creamy vanilla custard filling, fresh cherries and a crust that doesn't require refrigeration or rolling before lining the pan.

Fresh Cherry Tart

unsalted butter,

sugar

all-purpose flour

salt

almond meal (ground almonds) vanilla cookies

whipping cream

eggs,

vanilla extract

cherries, pitted (fresh are best)

Have ready a 9-inch (24cm) round tart pan with a removable bottom.

Stir together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. I use a spatula.

Add the flour and salt and stir to make a soft dough.

Transfer the dough to the pan in small pieces, distributing them on the bottom, and press evenly into the sides first, and then the base, with your floured fingertips. The dough seems like it's not enough but it is.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until beginning to brown.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the almond meal over the base.

For the crust:

Whisk together the cream, eggs, vanilla and sugar.

Add the flour and whisk until well mixed.

Arrange the pitted cherries over the pastry base and slowly pour the cream filling evenly over the cherries.

Return the tart to the oven and bake 40-50 minutes until the filling is barely firm, still jiggling slightly in the center.

Cool completely on a wire rack and serve dusted with powdered sugar and fresh cherries.

I like to refrigerate it for a 1-2 hours, well wrapped, before serving.

Refrigerate leftovers, wrapped so it doesn't dry out.

For the filling:

Loved this recipe. It was super simple! The crust is perfectly crispy and I have never achieved such perfection when I have made short crust using the chilling &amp; rolling method.

I used 180’C temp with a fan forced oven which resulted in the filling cooking faster and edges burning slightly. I would recommend cooking at 160’C if you are using a fanforced oven.

I have made this multiple times and with cherries and also blackberries. It's incredible
