Huge Raspberry Tart
Oven Pastry
I wish I could claim to have created this, but I saw it on social media and HAD TO, yes, HAD TO make it for myself and make it my own. This was so easy, so tasty and fun! It can easily feed at least eight very delighted people at a party or just for family or personal fun. The ingredients list is really extensive, so please pay close attention!
Ingredients
1 box pie crust (which usually comes with two in it)
1 jar raspberry jam (not jelly)
1 Hershey chocolate bar (to finely grate)
2 tabs melted butter + 2 tabs melted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1.5 cups powdered sugar*
*2 rounded teaspoons corn starch (thickener)
1/2+ cold water
I was teasing about the complicated ingredients list. My bad. ✌😂✌
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees.
On a pizza round stone or, if using a baking sheet, line the sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray the sheet with baking non-stick spray.
Unroll one of the pie crust dough rounds and place it on the sheet. Spread raspberry jam from the inside outward, leaving a half-inch to an inch of open dough. Add the brown sugar with your hands. You Have To save some for your fingers! Mmmm!!!
Spread some of the melted butter around the outer perimeter of the pie crust. Place the upper pie crust round atop the other. Use a fork to press down all the way around the perimeter. Brush more butter all over the top of the of the pastry. Prick a few holes in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake the tart pastry about thirty minutes. The top should be golden and not doughy, not soft. When done, remove the tart and let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, let's make the frosting. In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar and about a fourth of the half cup of water. Also add two tablespoons of raspberry jam and two melted tabs of butter. Stir or whisk vigorously. Add more water in increments. If, after the half cup, the frosting is too loose, add the corn starch, one tablespoon at a time. You want the frosting to pour but not watery. You could use a hand mixer for this, as well. Using a spatula, pour the frosting, starting in the center of the tart, expanding outward. Try not to let it ooze over the perimeter but, hey, who really cares if it does? 😄 Using a fine grater, grate a thick Hershey bar over the frosting. Raspberry and chocolate are perfect together! Once frosted, let it harden for about an hour, maybe a little more, if you can spare the time. And finally, use a pizza cutter to cut the tart like you would a pizza. The size of the pieces are up to you.
This pie tart will last two people a solid week, but it can feed up to eight people in one sitting. Enjoy by itself, on the go, or with ice cream! The idea is just to enjoy. You could use strawberry, blackberry or cherry jam. You could add a little honey to the filling, perhaps? The idea is to make it your own and enjoy.
As always, Thank You so much for your visit! I am so grateful. Now, Go Cook For Someone You Love!
