Instructions

Make the Pâte Sucrée: Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg yolk, then flour and salt. Mix until just combined. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Tart Shell: Roll out dough and line a tart pan. Chill again for 15 minutes. Prick base and blind-bake at 175°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
Prepare the Fruit: Peel and slice peaches. Rinse blueberries. Optional: toss fruit with a little lemon juice and sugar and let sit 15 minutes.
Optional Almond Cream Layer: Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then almond flour. Spread a thin layer over the pre-baked crust and bake for 10 more minutes at 175°C.
Assemble: Spread cooled pastry cream or whipped vanilla ganache over the baked base. Arrange peaches and blueberries decoratively.
Glaze: Warm neutral glaze or apricot jam and gently brush over the fruit for a shiny finish.
Serve: Chill tart before serving, or serve lightly warm. Garnish with mint leaves or edible flowers for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, add vanilla or almond extract to the almond cream. This tart is best served the same day for optimal texture, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
