Tips on Making Berry Tart
This fruit tart recipe features interesting flavor and texture combinations but making it doesn’t have to be complicated. Our tart recipe is simple and easy even for beginners. Here are our tips to ensure that you come up with a stunning fresh berry tart at home:
- Use a pre-made pie crust or puff pastry, or make your own at home. For homemade pie crusts, don’t skip blind baking them. This is an important step so the tart crust won’t be soggy.
- Use fresh or frozen berries. For frozen berries, just be sure to thaw them out first to remove excess juice so that your tart crust won’t turn soggy.
- Make tiny little berry tarts by dividing the pie crust and berry filling into small ramekins or muffin tins. They’re just the perfect personal serving size.
- Top the tart with cream cheese frosting, mascarpone cheese, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream and powdered sugar.Â

Commonly Asked Questions
How do you keep fruit tarts from getting soggy?
Fruit tarts end up soggy when there’s too much juice and it seeps into the crust. Avoid this mistake by thawing your frozen fruit properly, making the pie crust thicker, and blind baking it. You can also brush the crust with corn syrup or egg yolk right after blind baking them to create an extra protective film to seal it.
What can I do with tart berries?
Macerate them. Toss the tart berries into some sugar, honey, or maple syrup. This added sugar will compensate for the tartness and make them good enough to eat or be used as an ingredient for other dishes like this berry tart, berry ice cream, jam, or compote.
