Adventure Tips
Pre-measure ingredients before starting
Organize all ingredients in advance to ensure smooth assembly and baking.
Use fresh raspberries for best flavor
Opt for ripe, firm raspberries to achieve the tart’s signature balance of tartness and sweetness.
Follow baking time precisely
Keep a close eye on oven time to get the crust golden and raspberries just cooked, avoiding sogginess.
Cool tart before slicing
Let the tart rest to allow flavors to set and prevent falling apart when serving.
