NO SKILL FRUIT TART
Just like a seasonal fruit pie--wonderful for people who have trouble making the perfect crust. My favorite is blackberries with peaches, but you can use pretty much any seasonal fruit that you love. This one's a no-brainer!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in shortening by rubbing between your fingers until the mixture resembles oatmeal. Gradually stir in water until dough is just wet enough to hold together. Knead briefly, just so the dough holds together without crumbling. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the fruit.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the peaches and blackberries, and toss gently to coat. Set aside.
- Roll out the crust dough into a rough circle about the size of a dinner plate, and place on a flat baking sheet. Pile the fruit into a level mound in the center of the dough, leaving 1 to 2 inches of exposed dough around the edge. Throw out any juices that may have accumulated in the fruit bowl. Fold the dough up over the fruit - the edges should cover some of the fruit and berries, but not reach the center of the tart.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fruit is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into wedges and serving.

FRESH FRUIT TART WITH ALMOND PRESS-IN CRUST
Eating fruit tarts is great. Rolling out dough on a brutally hot day isn't. Good thing this stunner has a no-fuss press-in crust.

Steps:
- Crust:
- Place a rack in the middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Whisk egg yolks and 1 Tbsp. cold water in a small bowl to combine.
- Whisk all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter and rub and smash into dry ingredients with your fingers to create large, shaggy pieces (you want some pieces that are flat and thin and some that are large and irregular).
- Drizzle egg yolk mixture over flour and, using a fork or your fingers, toss into dough to incorporate. Knead dough in bowl until it starts to come together (it will still look a little dry; although, if it looks too dry and doesn't come together, add 1-2 Tbsp. more water, but only if needed).
- Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and knead 1 or 2 more times. Divide dough in half, stack pieces, and press down firmly to smash together. Repeat process until dough is well combined and becomes slightly sticky, 2-3 more times. Press dough into bottom and 1" up sides of pan and prick all over with a fork. Freeze until very firm, 20-30 minutes.
- Bake crust until deep golden brown all over, 35-40 minutes. Let cool.
- Do Ahead: Crust can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
- Custard and assembly:
- Bring milk and vanilla paste to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl, starting slowly-it won't want to combine easily at first-then vigorously whisk until mixture is very pale yellow and very thick, about 1 minute (the sugar should be nearly dissolved at this point). Whisking constantly, gradually add hot milk mixture. Return custard base to saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Simmer, still whisking constantly, until custard is thickened and has no cornstarch taste, about 3 minutes.
- Remove custard from heat and add butter a couple of pieces at a time, whisking until fully melted before adding more, until all of the butter is incorporated. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against surface. Let cool.
- Vigorously whisk custard until smooth and slightly loosened. Scrape into crust and smooth surface. Top with berries.
- Do Ahead: Custard can be made 4 days ahead. Keep chilled.
NO-BAKE FRUIT TART
This tart is special because it uses a variety of fruit! In fact, I think the tart is even better and more special that way! So of course, this got me to thinking about life. And diversity. And how we, as a people, are truly better together. We are more interesting. We get more flavors and textures and colors. We can live in harmony and are more interesting and better because of the red cherry that's adjacent to the fuchsia raspberry. We are better together. And about this tart... it couldn't be easier to make. A store-bought crust works really well, here! (If you want to bake a homemade crust, I'm sharing my recipe for that below, too). Then the filling is basically a no-bake cheesecake. You don't even have to wait for it to "set" in the fridge. You just really have to beat the cream cheese and whipping cream real good until you get to super stiff peaks.

Steps:
- Place the cream cheese, cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until very stiff peaks form and the filling smooths out (initially, it may be a little lumpy from the cold cream cheese, but if you keep beating, it will smooth out). You want the filling to really thicken up. (If your cream cheese was at room temperature, it won't get thick and that's fine -- it will set beautifully while in the refrigerator.)
- Spread the filling evenly into your crust. Slice the larger fruit and halve some of the cherries and strawberries to expose the insides. Arrange on top of the tart.
- Microwave the jelly or jam, if using, in a small microwave-safe bowl just until it becomes more liquid. Brush it all over the top of the fruit. (This will help "preserve" the tart while it's in the fridge.)
- Refrigerate until ready to serve! It will be fine in the fridge for up to two days. Serve cold!
