Classic Black Cherry Tart Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 piece egg yolk
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cup fresh or frozen black cherries, pitted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 piece egg white, beaten
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the flour, butter, sugar, egg yolk, and salt until the mixture is crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, and cornstarch. Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the crust. Dot the top with butter.
- Bake the tart for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Brush the top of the tart with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Serve the tart at room temperature or chilled, with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen black cherries that are ripe and sweet. If using frozen cherries, make sure to thaw them completely before using them in the recipe.
- To easily pit the cherries, use a cherry pitter or a small sharp knife to cut around the stem and remove the pit.
- If you prefer a sweeter tart, you can increase the amount of sugar in the filling to your taste.
- To give the crust a nice, golden color, brush it with the beaten egg white and sprinkle it with sugar before baking it.
- To prevent the tart from getting soggy, make sure to bake the crust fully before adding the cherry filling.
- To store the tart, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tart can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Serve the tart at room temperature or chilled, with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
Making Homemade Black Cherry Tart at Home is a Breeze!
➡️ Cherry tart is sometimes referred to as a cherry pie but has no pie-like crust, and differs from a pie in two ways. Firstly, cherries are not used to fill a pie shell but are instead placed on top, and secondly, there is no double crust, so the top and the bottom of the tart are not sealed, but have a border of pastry cream, which is typically sweet, but not overly so. However, the definition between tart and pie is very shallow and they overlap many times.
