How to Make Blackberry Pudding Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your tart shell packaging. Bake tart shells according to package directions and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups blackberries and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until berries are soft and have released their juices.
  4. Mash the berries slightly with a potato masher or fork. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. You should have approximately 2 cups of blackberry juice.
  5. Discard the pulp and seeds.
  6. In a clean saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until well combined.
  7. Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of blackberry juice until smooth.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent sticking.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the filling has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until melted and incorporated.
  11. Let the blackberry filling cool slightly before spooning it into the cooled tart shells.
  12. Refrigerate the filled tarts for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set completely.
  13. In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  14. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  15. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  16. Dollop or pipe whipped cream onto each cooled tart.
  17. Garnish with fresh blackberries and mint sprigs.
  18. Serve chilled and enjoy!
