Delicious Cherry Tart: a dessert that will win you over! Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 25-30 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Servings: 8 The cherry tart is a refined dessert, perfect for adding a sweet touch to any meal. This simple recipe combines the fresh flavors of cherries with a flaky crust, creating an irresistible combination. I invite you to discover the steps to achieve a perfect tart that will impress both family and friends! Necessary ingredients: *For the tart crust:* - 150 g butter (preferably at room temperature, for easy whipping) - 2 eggs - 3 tablespoons sugar - 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (this will add a fresh flavor) - 1 vanilla essence (optional, but recommended for a richer taste) - 50 ml cold water (to help achieve a smooth dough) - 1 baking powder - 400 g flour (make sure it is of good quality) *For the cherry filling:* - 1 kg cherries (fresh, well-ripened, and aromatic) - 3 tablespoons sugar (adjustable depending on the sweetness of the cherries) - 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs (to absorb the juice of the cherries) - 2 tablespoons semolina (for a nicer texture) Preparation instructions: 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until it becomes a fluffy cream. Add the eggs, vanilla essence, grated lemon zest, and water. Mix well. 2. Incorporating the dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the bowl with butter and eggs. Knead with your hands until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to make it too heavy! 3. Chilling the dough: Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step is essential for achieving a crispy tart. 4. Preparing the filling: Wash the cherries, remove the stems, and pit them. In a bowl, mix the cherries with the sugar and semolina. This will help absorb the juice released during baking, preventing a too-wet filling. 5. Forming the tart: Once the dough has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator and set aside a quarter of it for decoration. Roll out the remaining dough into a round sheet, then place it in a greased tart pan lined with a little breadcrumbs. Make sure the dough covers the sides of the pan as well. 6. Adding the filling: Prick the dough in several places with a fork to prevent puffing. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs on the bottom of the tart, then add the prepared cherries. 7. Decorating the tart: From the reserved dough, roll out a sheet and cut long strips to form a lattice over the filling. Brush everything with an egg yolk for a beautiful color when baked and sprinkle a little poppy seeds for added texture. 8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy. 9. Serving: Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant look and sweet aroma. Serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with cherry syrup for a delicious contrast. Suggestions and variations: Try replacing the cherries with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or raspberries, for a variety of flavors. You can also add some chopped nuts to the filling for a surprising crunchy texture. This quick and simple dessert will surely become a family favorite. Enjoy every slice of cherry tart and cherish the moments spent in the kitchen!
