Despite the fact that I’m a complete and utter chocoholic, I’m finding that I’m incredibly drawn to fruit-inspired baked goods. My husband and I tag teamed it this weekend, and together, we created several easy, Labor-Day inspired dishes to celebrate the last few days of summer. Since my children absolutely love berries, I dived into creating a berry tart. While this dish is definitely not vegan, I’ll tell you how I altered the recipe so my son could enjoy his very own berry tart.
- Assortment of washed berries including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
- Pastry Crust
- Custard
-
Fill crust with custard
-
Layer berries on top of custard
-
Chill and serve
Once you’ve prepared your crust, you can begin making the custard that will fill the crust.

This is a relatively simple, delicious dessert that works well for a summer or fall dish. The custard is sweet without overwhelming and compliments the berries nicely. You could brush a fruit glaze on the bottom of the crust and over the berries, but I prefer the simple version with the fruit and the custard.
Since this is a dish my son is not able to eat, I picked up some mini Wholly Wholesome crusts at our local Whole Foods. I then made a vegan custard with cornstarch, almond milk, and sugar. The full recipe forthcoming!

This looks so delicious!!!
Oh wow!! Not only does that sound simple enough for even me to make, it looks SO pretty too!!
This looks amazing! I made a berry crumble last night with some too-long-in-the-fridge raspberries and blackberries and it was delicious. I’ll have to give this a try.
Yum this looks so yummy, what a great way to use summer berries one last time!
omgosh that looks SO good! pinning this!
You have my mouth watering with this one because I’m such a sucker for berries. Looks pretty tasty, and GREAT pictures to boot =)
Pinning this too… it looks like the recipe is easy but the presentation looks like you’ve slaved!
Wow! Such a beautiful dessert and picture perfect!
YUM! That looks and sounds delicious!
Girl, you did that! Absolutely fabulous. Great job mama!
Mmmmm…. This recipe seems like a good one for Easter as well. 🙂 My son would just pick out all the strawberries and leave the rest for us to eat. 🙂
What a beautiful dessert. SO perfect for all the patriotic holidays.
This recipe will be used at the next family party. I love it!
looks amazing and so going to try it!
I love simple tarts like this. I hate those that have glaze all over it and hide the burst of berry flavors.
