Title: Red, White, and Blue Berry Tart
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 1 egg yolk
– 3-4 tablespoons ice water
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh blueberries
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
– ½ cup fresh raspberries
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the egg yolk and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough forms a ball.
3. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
5. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
6. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
7. Arrange the blueberries in a circle in the center of the tart. Place the sliced strawberries around the blueberries, and fill the gaps with raspberries.
8. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy the red, white, and blueberry goodness!
These red, white, and blue berry tarts are not only patriotic but also deliciously sweet and creamy. The buttery crust pairs perfectly with the rich cream cheese filling and the fresh fruit toppings.
