Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Tart
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Blend in diced butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg yolk and cold ice water. Form dough into a disc, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Blind Bake the Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough to fit the tart pan. Line crust with parchment paper, fill with weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Make the Custard Filling: Heat heavy cream and milk over medium heat until just below boiling. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Gradually add hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Return to saucepan and cook on low until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the Tart: Pour custard filling into cooled crust. Press fresh raspberries into the custard. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  5. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy this delightful dessert!

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Whisk continuously when combining hot milk with egg yolks to avoid curdling. Allow tart to chill properly for best texture.
