I'm saying 'custard' but the filling that goes with raspberries isn't like an egg and milk custard baked in the oven. It's creamy, and rich, almost like a pudding, but with more of a truffle texture, with a vanilla flavour.
This one takes just a bit more time than the plum tart I posted earlier, but is quick and simple. And you can use almost any fruit on hand, so it's easy for unplanned desserts. You could use any dessert crust for this, but I use my regular pie pastry recipe. Here is the filling recipe.
Raspberry Custard Tart
Pie pastry for one 9 inch tart pan (or pie pan)
1 egg
3/4 C sugar
6 Tbsp melted butter
1/3 C all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1 C raspberries, or enough fruit to cover the bottom of the pan
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Line the tart pan with the pie pastry. Trim the edges.
3. Arrange the fruit evenly in the lined pan.
4. Whisk together all remaining ingredients.
5. Strategically 'pour' or drop the batter over the berries evenly. It will seem like there's not enough. Just make sure it's even, and it will fill itself in.
6. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes. Than turn the heat down to 350F and cook for 55 minutes more, until the top is brown, bubbly and crusty.
7. Serve warm, cold or at room temperature with raspberry sauce and/or whipped cream.
