Ingredients
Scale
Tart Base
- 1 pre-made tart shell
Filling
- 1 cup yuzu juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the tart.
- Mix Yuzu Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined, which forms the citrus custard base for the tart.
- Add Butter: Slowly add the melted unsalted butter to the yuzu mixture and mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and homogenous.
- Prepare Raspberries: In a separate bowl, gently toss the fresh raspberries with cornstarch and a pinch of salt; this will thicken the berries and prevent them from sinking during baking.
- Assemble Tart: Pour the yuzu mixture into the pre-made tart shell, then evenly distribute the coated raspberries over the top of the filling to create an attractive surface.
- Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving to let the flavors develop and the filling to firm up.
Notes
- Use fresh yuzu juice for the best citrus flavor, but bottled yuzu juice can be a convenient alternative.
- Make sure to cool the tart fully to ensure clean slices when serving.
- Raspberries coated with cornstarch help maintain a nice texture without releasing too much juice.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally garnished with extra raspberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
