    Blackberry tart topped with toasted almonds - this French style dessert is made completely from scratch, in a homemade tart crust!

    Blackberry Tart with Toasted Almonds

    This blackberry tart is all about the Summer, and a great way to use up all those blackberries you might have bought on a whim! The homemade tart shell is so easy to make (don't let the word "homemade tart shell" scare you) - and it tastes like it just came from a French Bakery!

    How to make tart with berries

    Homemade tart shell

    First you need to make a tart shell. Here are the ingredients you'll need:

    • 1 ½ cups flour
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • â…› teaspoon salt
    • 10 tablespoons butter cold unsalted
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

    I have a detailed tutorial with pictures for how to make a sweet tart crust shell from scratch.  Just follow that tutorial.

    Blackberry filling for tart shell

    In a bowl, combine 4 cups of blackberries, 1 cup regular sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Toss everything well together. That's it! Your blackberry filling is done!

    All you have to do now is to spoon the blackberry filling into the pre-baked tart shell and bake the tart shell with the blackberry filling in it for an additional 30-40 minutes at 350 F until the filling starts to bubble.

      Would other fresh fruits be interchangeable with the blackberries? I’m thinking blueberries alone, or a combination of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. This will be the first tart I’ve made; I’m so anxious to try. Thank you.

      So impressive, I love the idea of no top crust. Beautiful photos.

      Would it be the worst if you used frozen berries instead?!

        I would let the berries thaw first, before adding them to the tart shell.
