Tips for Gluten-Free Fruit Tart
When you choose raspberries or any fruit you like to decorate the tart with, make sure it is fresh and shiny. For an artistic look, choose fruits with vibrant colors so that your tart will be visually appealing.
Do not overfill your tart crust with lemon curd mix. Make sure you leave some space for the raspberries layer.
If you like meal prep recipes, this gluten-free tart is a perfect choice. You can store the crust raw or baked in the freezer. Make sure you allow it to thaw in the fridge one night before filling or baking it.
Let the tart dough chill in the fridge for a while before baking. This will result in a flakier crust because you kept the butter cold before tossing the pan into the oven.
Do you like mini tarts? Well, you can follow the same steps, but place the crust in a mini tart mold instead of a pan and bake them in the oven. They might need less time to be ready.
Festive and Vibrant!
