Somehow it’s already time for the 4th of July! And in my mind the 4th means all the berries because, hello – blue and red! Fruit tarts are the perfect way to celebrate and but some beautiful berries on display. I used my favorite California Giant Berry Farms berries to make this tart look extra delicious and a sweet and tart lemon curd sauce. Hot tip – if you are going to make this for a gathering you can make the crust ahead, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge, make the lemon curd ahead and put it in the fridge and chop your fruit. Then just bring every and assemble before serving! It is the perfect summer dessert that everyone will love. Now that berry season is in full swing I love having them always chopped and ready in my fridge. I didn’t realize until Ruthie started eating but I had gotten in a rut of never buying fruit – I know terrible! And now that I buy it more for her I am remembering how incredible it is. Especially when it’s berry season! So go to your local store and get some Cal Giant Berries, using this awesome coupon!!
Oh and don’t forget to tag my on instagram when you make it!
I couldn’t choose just a few photos for this post… i’m just so in love with fruit tarts!!

Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine crust ingredients and mix until combined.

- Form dough into an 8 inch round crust. Use a fork to poke a few holes on the crust.
- Bake crust for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and then set aside to cool.
- Once crust is cooled, spoon on the lemon curd (as much as you like) and then top with chopped fruit!
Amazing dessert! I used raspberries, blueberries and strawberries since it’s the July 4th weekend. Since I never have ghee I used coconut oil in place of the ghee in the filling and it worked out great. Making a coconut and key lime tart like this would be delicious too….

Oh that is great to hear!!
This looks incredible! Do you think it would stand up to a potluck, or better not to have it sit out at all?
I would just assemble it when you get there!
