This recipe is my aunt’s new favorite of all my recipes. I love it when I create something that isn’t just good, but so AMAZING it becomes someones new favorite! BEST compliment ever. This is what she requests me to bring it to family dinners now (shockingly I’m always in charge of dessert).

Raspberry curd tart free recipe

When I was deciding what food to make for the pink and gold party photo shoot we not only considered COLORS (pink and gold) but also shapes! We knew the cake would be centered, and that we wanted plates of large desserts on each side (the doughnuts and large cream puffs). BUT we also wanted something fun on each plate!

Raspberry Curd Tart

We debated mini cakes, but with the large cake as a centerpiece we decided against it. Then we decided to make gold glittered name pick’s for each plate so we decided something wide enough to look good on a plate and tallish. SO this bright tart was designed for it’s shape and color, THANKFULLY it tastes AMAZING as well!

New Year's raspberry curd tart

This is similar to my Blood orange tart from episode 2 of Food Network Hallow Baking Championship! I’m just a little in love with citrus curds, I wasn’t sure how this raspberry version would work, but seriously it’s SO good! This would be amazing with blackberries as well.  If I wasn’t going for a certain shade of “raspberry” pink I totally would have used blackberries.

    Fresh raspberries aren’t always available for a reasonable price. Could frozen berries be used? Would there be any recipe adjustments?

      TOTALLY! spread the frozen berries out on a paper towel and let them thaw (to keep it from being too juicy and add too much liquid.

    I’m wondering if the 2 C of Raspberries means 2 cups. I made the curd this afternoon and at the point of the 2 1/2 tbsp of corn starch it was already very very thick, and I couldn’t pour it in the egg and sugar mixture I had to spoon it in. Once it was mixed in, it already covered the spoon with at least 1/8 of an inch of curd. Please let me know where I went wrong.

      yes 2 C is 2 cups – the C stands for cups – how much did you use?

    This looks amazing!! I will definitely have to try this one. Do you know if there is a way to convert these over to weights instead of by volume? 🙂

    hi i don’t have a blow torch so would i be able to bake the tart for about 2-3 minutes in order to get the meringue browned

      it would actually take about 7-12 mins but yes would work, but honestly it would be better not to bake the crust more or custard, so a cheap torch is worth it IMO.
