Raspberry Crème Fraîche Tart with Lavender Honey image

Here, lush summer raspberries are framed by a rich crust and a cool, creamy layer that underlines their tart juiciness. A drizzling of warm lavender honey draws out a luxurious floral sweetness-put out the extra honey in a crock so everyone can add as much or as little as they like.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg
For filling:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup crème frache
3 1/2 tablespoons lavender honey
4 cups raspberries (18 ounces)
Special Equipment
9-inch fluted round tart pan (1 inch deep) with a removable bottom; heavy-duty foil; pie weights or raw rice
Accompaniment: warm lavender honey

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Pulse together all crust ingredients in a food processor just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Put tart pan on a baking sheet and press dough evenly onto bottom and up side of tart pan with your fingertips. Chill shell, covered, on baking sheet until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line shell with a buttered sheet of heavy-duty foil (buttered side down) and fill shell one third of the way up with pie weights.
  • Bake (on sheet) until edge is pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights and foil, then bake until edge and bottom are golden, about 20 minutes more. Cool completely in pan on a rack.
  • Make filling:
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer at high speed until smooth, then add crème frache and 1 1/2 tablespoons honey and beat until combined well. Spread filling evenly in shell, then top with raspberries. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a very small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until liquefied, then drizzle over raspberries. Serve with additional melted honey on the side.

This tart was a bit too time-consuming for my liking. But the end result was worth it!

I'm not a big fan of raspberries, but I loved this tart! The crème fraîche and lavender honey really balanced out the tartness of the raspberries.

This tart is so easy to make, even for a beginner like me. I was worried that the lavender honey would be too overpowering, but it was actually very subtle and delicious.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less honey next time.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the filling was delicious.

This tart is absolutely stunning! I love the vibrant color of the raspberries against the purple of the lavender honey.
