Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Zest of 2 limes
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Pulse to mix.
- Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- While pulsing, gradually add the ice water until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess from the edges.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the blackberries with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, lime zest, lime juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared tart shell, spreading it out evenly.
- Fold any excess dough over the edges of the tart, creating a rustic look.
- Brush the edges of the dough with heavy cream.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
