Steps:
- Make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla bean seeds and salt. Let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, blend graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter mixture and pulse until well combined. Press mixture into bottom and sides of pie pan. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes.
- Make the filling:
- Reserve 1/2 cup blueberries for garnish, set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the orange juice, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, and salt, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Add the remaining 5 1/2 cups blueberries. Stir in the cornstarch and bring to a low boil. Stir constantly, gently mashing the berries with the back of a spoon until broken down and thickened, 1 minute. Remove from heat and spoon into pie crust. If you have extra filling, save to enjoy over yogurt or ice cream. Let the filled pie cool for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
- Finish the pie:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream to very soft peaks. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, and vanilla extract into the cream and beat until soft peaks return. Do not over beat. Spread whipped cream in center of pie, leaving a 1 inch border of visible blueberry filling. Top with reserved blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in center of pie.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm berries: Use fresh, plump blueberries and strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Slice the brie evenly: Cut the brie into even slices so that they melt evenly in the oven.
- Use a good quality puff pastry: Look for a puff pastry that is made with all-butter, which will give it a flaky texture.
- Don't overfill the tart: Be careful not to overfill the tart with berries and brie, as this will make it difficult to fold the pastry over.
- Bake until the pastry is golden brown: Keep an eye on the tart while it is baking, and remove it from the oven when the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
This red, white, and blueberry and brie tart is a stunning and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
