Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp, cold and diced unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Add 3 tbsp cold water gradually, stirring until dough just comes together. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.
- Step 3: Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press dough evenly into pan and trim edges. Prick bottom with fork.
- Step 4: Bake crust for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool completely.
- Step 5: Prepare vanilla pudding by whisking 1 package vanilla pudding mix into 2 cups chilled whole milk, whisking for 2 minutes until thickened. Pour pudding into cooled tart shell and smooth the top.
- Step 6: Arrange 1 cup fresh blueberries and 1 cup fresh raspberries evenly over the pudding layer.
- Step 7: Warm 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Brush glaze gently over berries to add shine.
- Step 8: Refrigerate tart for at least 1 hour before serving to set.
