Fruited Creme Fraiche Tart
- 12 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 12 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 12 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest (use organic orange)
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 2 12-3 cups fresh blackberries, raspberries or 2 12-3 cups halved apricots or 2 12-3 cups figs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 34 cup creme fraiche
- 3 packed tablespoons light brown sugar
- 12 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- confectioners' sugar (optional, to garnish)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- With electric mixer on high speed, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
- Add vanilla and orange zest, then mix in flour and salt only until just combined.
- Smooth batter into an 11-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom, pushing it toward the edges to make a 1/2-inch rim.
- Place filled tart pan on a baking sheet.
- Arrange berries over batter, lodging them firmly together and pushing them up close to the rim.
- (If using apricots, place halves cut-side down; if using figs, place them cut-side up).
- Whisk egg yolk, creme fraiche, brown sugar, and vanilla together, then pour mixture evenly over and around the fruit.
- Baked until browned and lightly set, about 35 to 45 minutes.
- Topping should be a little gooey when warm, but bottom layer should be firmly set.
- Let sit for at least 10 minutes before unmolding tart.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, with a dusting of confectioner's sugar over each slice.
