Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups vanilla wafer cookies (about 55)
1 cup pecans
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup homemade or store-bought lemon curd
Berries, mango, and other fresh fruit (for serving)
Special Equipment
A 10" fluted tart pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse cookies, pecans, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and pulse until dough sticks together when squeezed with your fingertips. Transfer dough to pan and press into bottom and up sides of pan. Chill until set, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to a rimmed baking sheet and bake shell until golden, 18-20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in lemon curd and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, then whip on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
  • Spoon lemon curd mixture into tart shell and top with fruit. Chill 15 minutes to set, then serve.
  • Do Ahead
  • Tart shell can be baked 3 days ahead. Let cool, tightly wrap with plastic, and store at room temperature.

This fruit tart was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the fruit filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

The pecan cookie crust was a little too crumbly for my taste, but the fruit filling was delicious. I would make this again, but I would use a different crust.

I'm not a big fan of fruit tarts, but this one was really good. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the fruit filling was tart and sweet.

This tart was a disaster. The crust was too hard and the fruit filling was too runny. I won't be making this again.

This tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would make it again, but I would use less sugar in the fruit filling.
