The soft cherry tart is a new very soft variant of the soft tart; it contains blended cherries in the batter that give color and aroma to this magnificent base I propose to you today. Like all the other versions, it is baked in the smart mold and is perfect to enrich with custard, namelaka, panna cotta and fresh fruit.
The fillings can be customized to taste, with my fruit bases you can have fun playing with textures and flavors, the only ingredient that should never be missing is fresh fruit.
The recipe is very simple, it takes 10 minutes to prepare and cooks very quickly; no need to whip anything, you will just need a bowl and a whisk to incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquids and the mixture is ready.
