How to Make French Raspberry Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your tart shell using egg pastry recipe number 17829.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 3 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. In a 1-quart heavy saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups heavy cream over medium heat.
  4. Stir constantly until small bubbles begin to form around the edges.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly whisking in 1/3 of the hot cream. Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream, whisking constantly.
  7. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
  9. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
  10. Once the custard is chilled, fill the baked tart shell with the pastry cream.
  11. Arrange fresh raspberries on top of the pastry cream, arranging them in a circular pattern from the outside in.
  12. In a small saucepan, gently heat 1/4 cup raspberry jam over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
  13. Strain the melted jam through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  14. Brush the warm raspberry jam evenly over the raspberries.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  16. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream.
