STAR TART

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 15m

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 baked and cooled 9-inch tart shell in pan from Strawberry Tart
No-Fuss Pastry Cream or 1/2 cup fresh ricotta sweetened with 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Blueberries, raspberries, and thinly sliced strawberries (preferably small to medium for the strawberry star), for decorating

Steps:

  • Fill the tart shell with pastry cream.
  • Gently press a medium to large star-shaped cookie cutter into the center of the tart to make a slight imprint in the pastry cream for the star pattern; remove the cookie cutter.
  • For the blueberry star: Arrange blueberries in the center of the star outline. Fill the spaces surrounding the star with upside-down raspberries, creating a circular center. Arrange 2 to 3 layers of strawberries in a circular pattern around the perimeter of the raspberries to finish.
  • For the strawberry star: Select similarly sized strawberry slices for the tips of the star. Starting at the tip of one point, layer strawberries inward towards the center. Repeat with remaining 4 tips. Fill in the spaces surrounding the star with stem-side-up blueberries, creating a circular border. Place upside-down raspberries around blueberry perimeter to fill in the remainder of the tart.
  • Chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your star tart. Use ripe fruit, fresh herbs, and good quality cheese.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: A sharp knife will help you to cut clean, even pieces of dough.
  • Don't overfill the tarts: Overfilling the tarts will make them difficult to assemble and may cause them to leak.
  • Bake the tarts until they are golden brown: The tarts should be golden brown all over, including the edges.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the tarts to firm up.

Conclusion:

Star tarts are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of different fillings and toppings to choose from, there's sure to be a star tart that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give star tarts a try!
