Hi Bold Bakers! If you want a bright, decadent, simple, and quick dessert, you’ve come to the right place. Plus, just look at it! It’s gorgeous, and I’m not one to get into the weeds about fussy decorating. I’m the first to admit that focusing on how a dessert looks more than it tastes is NOT my thing, but it’s easy to arrange the colorful fruit so that this dessert looks like it came from a pastry shop! And more importantly, this tart is absolutely scrumptious. Already have an account? The best part is that you don’t have to use the same exact fruit as I did. Use any fresh, juicy fruit of your choice, because when you put it on cold, sweet, creamy pastry cream and a flaky, crispy puff pastry, it will always be delicious! This recipe uses a couple of our other popular recipes, too. You use our Crème Pâtissière (Pastry Cream) Recipe and my Easy Puff Pastry Recipe here, and the homemade taste absolutely elevates this tart! You can use store-bought puff pastry if you’d like, though, and that’s completely fine!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Summer Tarts
This tart is as good as the fruit you have – use only the best, ripe, juicy, and in-season fruit you can find. This recipe will only work with fresh fruit, not frozen. The pastry cream in this recipe should be set and chilled before you use it. This tart will not keep well once it is assembled. To make it in advance, bake the pastry and store it at room temperature for up to one day. The pastry cream can be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and the cut fruit in the refrigerator for a few hours. Assemble just before you serve it.
