Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 15m

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 baked and cooled 9-inch tart shell in pan from Strawberry Tart
No-Fuss Pastry Cream or 1/2 cup fresh ricotta sweetened with 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Blueberries, raspberries, and thinly sliced strawberries (preferably small to medium for the strawberry star), for decorating

Steps:

  • Fill the tart shell with pastry cream.
  • Gently press a medium to large star-shaped cookie cutter into the center of the tart to make a slight imprint in the pastry cream for the star pattern; remove the cookie cutter.
  • For the blueberry star: Arrange blueberries in the center of the star outline. Fill the spaces surrounding the star with upside-down raspberries, creating a circular center. Arrange 2 to 3 layers of strawberries in a circular pattern around the perimeter of the raspberries to finish.
  • For the strawberry star: Select similarly sized strawberry slices for the tips of the star. Starting at the tip of one point, layer strawberries inward towards the center. Repeat with remaining 4 tips. Fill in the spaces surrounding the star with stem-side-up blueberries, creating a circular border. Place upside-down raspberries around blueberry perimeter to fill in the remainder of the tart.
  • Chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter and chocolate, for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before grating it. This will help to create a more flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through.
  • Let the tart cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
  • Store the tart in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

The star tart is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, rich chocolate filling, and beautiful star shape, this tart is sure to wow your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this star tart a try.
