Ingredients
Scale
Tart Shell
- 1 pre-made tart shell
Filling
- 1 cup yuzu juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the tart.
- Prepare Yuzu Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yuzu juice, sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the base of the tart filling.
- Add Butter: Slowly add the melted unsalted butter to the yuzu mixture and stir until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
- Coat Raspberries: In a separate bowl, gently toss the fresh raspberries with cornstarch and a pinch of salt to help absorb excess moisture and prevent the berries from sinking in the tart.
- Assemble Tart: Pour the yuzu and egg mixture evenly into the pre-made tart shell, then carefully distribute the coated raspberries on top.
- Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely to let the flavors meld before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh lemon juice if yuzu juice is unavailable, but the distinctive citrus flavor of yuzu is key to this tart.
- Make sure to coat the raspberries lightly with cornstarch to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Allow the tart to cool completely; this helps the filling set properly and enhances the texture.
- For added texture, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
