How to Make Cherry Tart
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, prepare the meringue: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread the cherries evenly over the pre-baked tart crust.
- Spoon the meringue over the cherries, spreading it to the edges.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
- Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
