Ingredients
Crust
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter salted, chilled and cubed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
For The Filling
- 2 cups vanilla custard store-bought or homemade
- 1½ cups mixed fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- To make the crust, combine the flour, butter, and sugar in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the crust is cooled, spread the vanilla custard evenly over the crust.
- Arrange the mixed berries on top of the custard.
- Optional: You can brush some warmed apricot jam over the berries to create a shiny glaze. Using a pastry brush, brush the warmed apricot jam glaze over the top of the berries. Be sure to cover each berry with a thin layer of the glaze.
- Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Crust Variations: Feel free to use store-bought pie crust or graham cracker crust if you're short on time.
- Vanilla Custard: Ensure that the custard is completely cooled before filling the tart shell to prevent a soggy crust.
- Fruit Toppings: This tart is versatile! Use a mix of seasonal berries or your favorite fruits for topping.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the crust and custard a day in advance. Assemble with berries just before serving for maximum freshness.
