• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 3 tbsp ice water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
• 4 large pasture-raised egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 cups mixed summer berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
• 1 tbsp clarified butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse the flour, cubed butter, sugar, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Tip: Overworking the dough will make it tough, so stop as soon as it forms a ball.
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press it into the pan and trim the edges. Chill for 30 minutes.
4. Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Tip: This blind baking ensures a crisp, flaky crust.
5. For the custard, heat the cream, milk, and vanilla bean seeds in a saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat.
6. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl until pale. Gradually whisk in the hot cream mixture.
7. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Strain into the baked crust and chill for 2 hours.
8. Arrange the berries over the custard and brush lightly with melted clarified butter for a glossy finish. Tip: The butter adds a subtle richness and keeps the berries looking fresh.

The tart’s crust shatters at the first forkful, giving way to the silky custard and burst of juicy berries. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
