Berry lemon summer tart
Two ways! One with a Lemon pastry cream + berry compote. This is our summer staple! Swap out the topping for any fruit in season or falling off your trees. We love making this last min dessert since it’s easy + quick to whip up in 15 minutes! Make your own tart shell or use puff pastry. Both delish. Always have a jar of lemon curd, fresh berries and some puff pastry in the freezer. In a pinch I’ve even used whipped cream in a can! (But never cool whip ;) Mango+berry passion fruit tart for summer Using on of my favorite pastry chef Byron Konold’s tart recipe. This mascarpone base is so light + delish.
