For this fresh berry tart, I've used a traditional tart crust made with unsalted butter, which adds an amazing buttery flavor and a flaky texture to the finished tart. To make the crust, we've combined butter pieces with gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse sand, then added a little water to bring it all together. The result is a tender, buttery crust that provides the perfect base for the tart with raspberries.

To make the filling between the tarts, we've used a combination of raspberry jam and fresh raspberries. The jam adds a sweet, sticky layer to the bottom of the tartlets, while the fresh berries on top add a pop of color and a burst of juicy flavor. This fresh raspberry tart is not only a delicious baking classic, but it's also a beautiful way to showcase the bounty of summer fruits.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard-size muffin tin.
Roll out your gluten-free pie crust on a floured surface.
Use a round cookie cutter to cut the pie crust into rounds that will fit into the bottom of the muffin tin.
Press the rounds into the bottom of the muffin tin. Place a muffin liner on top of each round and fill the liner with pie weights to keep the crust from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the crusts from the oven and let them cool completely.
Once the crusts are cool, fill each one with raspberry jam. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to do this.
Top each tartlet with a fresh raspberry.

Recipe Tips

For a smoother cream filling, blend the ingredients in a food processor.
To make it easier to remove the tartlets from the muffin tin, place them on a plate.
Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks for a light and airy filling.
Chill the tartlets in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
If you don't have a round cookie cutter, you can use a drinking glass to cut out the pie crust rounds.
To create a fancy presentation, dust the finished tartlets with powdered sugar before serving.
To add a bit of extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla paste or a pinch of lemon zest to the cream filling.

Storage Instructions

Store the gluten-free raspberry tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To prevent the berries from getting mushy, wait to top the tartlets until just before serving.
If you're making the tartlets ahead of time, you can prepare the crust and filling separately and assemble them just before your summer gathering.
For an extra pop of color and flavor, add a few extra bright summer berries on top of the tartlets just before serving.
