Description
Delightful Vanilla Cream Tarts topped with fresh raspberries, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2–3 tablespoons ice-cold water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water into the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough feels too crumbly, add the remaining tablespoon of water gradually until it holds together.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick. Use a round cutter to create circles that will fit your tartlet pans. Gently press the dough into the pans and use a fork to poke holes in the bottoms.
- Place the tartlet shells in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a light golden color. Once baked, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks.
- Once the tartlet shells have cooled, generously spoon the whipped cream into each shell. Arrange the fresh raspberries on top, creating a beautiful presentation.
- For the best flavor, refrigerate the tartlets for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the cream to set and the flavors to blend beautifully.
Notes
- For an extra zing, mix in a tablespoon of lemon zest into the whipped cream.
- You can also switch out the raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a delightful variation.
