Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 ripe peaches, sliced
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 tablespoon gelatin
• 2 tablespoons water

How to Make Peach Raspberry Tart

1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, diced butter, and granulated sugar. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the egg yolk and ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
5. Make the pastry cream: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
6. Slowly pour the hot cream into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
7. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of water. Once the pastry cream has cooled to room temperature, stir in the gelatin until fully incorporated.
8. Spread the creamy filling evenly over the cooled tart crust. Arrange the sliced peaches and raspberries on top of the cream in a decorative pattern.
9. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is cold when making the crust for a flakier texture.
• Let the pastry cream cool before adding the gelatin to avoid clumping.
• Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Swap the peaches for nectarines or apricots for a different fruity flavor.
• Add a layer of almond paste beneath the pastry cream for added richness.
• Top with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for extra crunch.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy complement.
• A dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
