Fresh Berry Cream Tartlets

by Robin Asbell

fresh berry cream tartlets

These cute little tarts are perfect portions for dessert, and the berries on top glisten like little gems. A pecan and maple crust is like a crunchy cookie, and a perfect foil for the rich crème fraîche and juicy berries.

Recipe by Robin Asbell, also available at StrongerTogether.coop. Find more recipes and information about your food and where it comes from at www.strongertogether.coop.

Fresh Berry Cream Tartlets

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes; 40 minutes active
Servings: 12

INGREDIENTS

Crust

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Filling

  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries
  • 3/4 cup all-fruit apricot jam
METHOD
  1. For the tartlet shells, preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Lightly oil a 12-cup muffin pan and reserve.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the pecans to finely chop. Add the oats, flour, and salt and process to mince the oats finely.
  4. Stir together the butter, maple and vanilla and pour into the processor. Pulse the processor to mix well, then transfer the oat mixture to a large bowl.
  5. Squeeze and knead the mixture, if needed, to make a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Use a tablespoon to scoop 2 rounded tablespoons into each muffin cup. Use your fingers to press the dough into the bottom and evenly up the sides about 3/4 of an inch. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. For the filling, with an electric mixer or a stand mixer, whip the crème fraîche with the powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla. The mixture will become thick and fluffy, like whipped cream.
  8. To assemble, spread the crème fraîche in the cooled shell. Distribute the berries over the cream pressing gently to embed them. Chill until set.
  9. In a cup, whisk the apricot jam with a tablespoon of water, then brush lightly over the berries. Assemble these the day you plan to serve them, so the crust doesn't get soggy.

Peach and Strawberry Bruschetta

Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4–6
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 fresh peaches
  • 1/2 pint fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 whole wheat baguette, sliced
  • 6 ounces chevre
METHOD
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Peel the peaches by bringing a pot of water to boil. Cut a small “X” into the pointed end of each peach, and submerge in boiling water for approximately 30 seconds. Remove the peaches from the boiling water with a strainer or tongs, and drop into a bowl of ice water. The skin will slip off, or at least, be fairly easy to peel.
  3. Halve, pit, and dice the peaches and stem and dice the strawberries.
  4. Stir in the honey, sea salt, chives, thyme, sherry vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil; set aside.
  5. Brush the baguette slices lightly with the rest of the olive oil and place in a single layer on a baking sheet in the oven to toast for 15 or 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  6. Spread the warm baguette slices with chevre and top with the fruit mixture.
