Berry Tart

I was pretty much disappointed with this tart. The sweet crust pastry was just meh. As for the pastry cream, I screwed that up with dark chocolate. Sigh. That aside, what’s there to learn if you don’t make mistakes? Therefore, note to self: always work fast with chilled dough and never do patch work (once baked, the base won’t hold).

I don’t think I will post the recipe for the base, but if you must know, visit this site. I used the same pastry cream as what I did for my strawberry tarts (you can also check out the graham cracker crust I did).

  1. Thanks for dropping by my blog. Your tart looks beautiful, but I'm sorry it didn't live up to your expectations. It happens to all of us. About half of my recipes are duds, so I know how you feel. Still… half are good, and those are the ones i share with people so that they all think I'm totally fab LOL ;) Have a wonderful weekend.*kisses* HH
