Blackberry Burst Tart: A Juicy Delight

Welcome to another delicious adventure on our blog! Today, we’re diving into a fruity favorite that’s perfect for the summer season: the Blackberry Burst Tart. This tart combines the vibrant flavor of fresh blackberries with a crispy prebaked shell, creating a dessert that’s as delightful to look at as it is to eat. Below, I’ll guide you through the process of making this scrumptious treat, from the preparation of the tart crust to the bubbling blackberry filling.

Ingredients:

Tart Shell:

• 1 Tart crust shell (9 inch)

Blackberry Filling:

• 5 cups blackberries, fresh (not frozen)
• 1 cup white sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon butter, cold, chopped thinly
• 2 tablespoons white sugar (for topping)

Directions:

Preparation of Tart Crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. Prebake the 9-inch tart crust for 20-30 minutes, until slightly golden and set. Let the tart shell cool slightly before filling.

Making Blackberry Filling:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of blackberries, 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, ensuring the berries are well-coated.

Assembling the Tart:

1. Spoon the blackberry mixture into the cooled tart shell, spreading it evenly.
2. Top with the remaining 1 cup of fresh blackberries for a burst of fresh berry flavor in every bite.
3. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of white sugar over the berries, then scatter the thinly chopped cold butter across the top to enrich the filling as it cooks.
4. Place the tart on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any overflowing juices) and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 30-40 minutes. Watch for the filling to start bubbling and the crust to turn a perfect golden brown. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
5. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing the cool creaminess to complement the warm, tart berries.
