Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made tart shell
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the tart shell will bake evenly and become golden brown.
- Take the pre-made tart shell out of the packaging and place it on a baking sheet. This will make it easier to transfer in and out of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries and sliced peaches. Gently toss them together to combine.
- Add 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the fruit mixture. The sugar will enhance the sweetness of the fruit, while the cornstarch will help thicken the filling as it bakes. Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared tart shell, spreading it out evenly. Make sure the fruit is distributed well to ensure every slice has a good balance of flavors.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the tart shell is golden and the fruit is bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
- While the tart is baking, prepare the vanilla glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary, until it reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
- Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the filling to set slightly.
- Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the tart just before serving. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control over the drizzle.
- Slice the tart into 8 equal servings and enjoy your delicious Easy Blueberry Peach Tart with Vanilla Glaze!
Tips
- Always use fresh, ripe fruits for the most vibrant flavor and best texture.
- If using frozen fruits, thaw and drain them completely to prevent excess moisture.
- For an extra golden tart shell, brush the edges with an egg wash before baking.
- Let the tart cool slightly before glazing to prevent the sugar from running off.
- Experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture for deeper flavor.
- Serve slightly warm for the most decadent experience, paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
