A mixed berry tart just the way we like it for an evening dessert: shortcrust pastry, a generous layer of artisan mixed berry jam (three quarters of a jar) and, on top, a vanilla custard that bakes in the oven until nicely set.

When you slice it, the jam forms a deep, dark band under the creamy custard, and the tartness of the berries paired with the sweet vanilla cream works every time.

The recipe only calls for pantry staples, and the custard comes together in ten minutes while the oven heats up.
