Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 25-30 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Servings: 8 Ingredients For the crust: - 180 g flour (the type of flour can affect the texture, so choose a high-quality flour) - 100 ml heavy cream (make sure it has 30% fat for a rich taste) - 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for a slightly caramelized flavor) - 1 egg (about 60 g) - Zest of 1/2 lemon (adds a note of freshness) - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda activated with a tablespoon of lemon juice (to help the dough rise) - 1 tablespoon butter (for a savory taste of the tart) For the filling: - 250 g blackberries (fresh or frozen, but ensure they are of good quality) - 200 g blueberries (you can also use frozen blueberries) - 200 g heavy cream, 30% fat - 2 small eggs (about 60 g each) - 3 tablespoons sugar (adjustable to taste) - 1 packet of vanilla sugar (for an aromatic flavor) Step by step: Preparing the tart 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour with the brown sugar and baking soda. Add the lemon zest for a pleasant aroma. In another bowl, beat the egg with the heavy cream until you achieve a smooth mixture. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and knead with your hands until you obtain a uniform dough, but do not over-knead. 2. Resting the dough: Wrap the dough in cling film and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is essential to achieve a crispy and manageable dough. 3. Preparing the baking pan: Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a round shape, about 4 mm thick, on a lightly floured surface. Carefully place it in the greased tart pan, ensuring it fits perfectly into the corners. Make a few pricks with a fork to prevent the dough from puffing up during baking. 4. Baking the crust: Place the pan in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the dough turns lightly golden. This is the perfect time to prepare the filling. 5. Preparing the filling: In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream, eggs, and sugar. Beat well until you get a creamy mixture. Add the blackberries and blueberries, gently mixing to avoid crushing them. 6. Assembling the tart: Remove the pan from the oven and carefully add the fruit and cream mixture over the pre-baked crust, smoothing it out to ensure even baking. 7. Final baking: Return the pan to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, until the filling is firm and slightly browned around the edges. 8. Finishing: Finally, remove the tart from the oven and sprinkle a packet of vanilla sugar or powdered sugar on top for an elegant finish. Let the tart cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Serving and variations The blackberry and blueberry tart is perfect served warm or at room temperature.
