Somehow it’s already time for the 4th of July! And in my mind the 4th means all the berries because, hello – blue and red! Fruit tarts are the perfect way to celebrate and but some beautiful berries on display. I used my favorite California Giant Berry Farms berries to make this tart look extra delicious and a sweet and tart lemon curd sauce. Hot tip – if you are going to make this for a gathering you can make the crust ahead, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge, make the lemon curd ahead and put it in the fridge and chop your fruit. Then just bring every and assemble before serving! It is the perfect summer dessert that everyone will love. Now that berry season is in full swing I love having them always chopped and ready in my fridge. I didn’t realize until Ruthie started eating but I had gotten in a rut of never buying fruit – I know terrible! And now that I buy it more for her I am remembering how incredible it is. Especially when it’s berry season! So go to your local store and get some Cal Giant Berries, using this awesome coupon!!
Oh and don’t forget to tag my on instagram when you make it!

Nutrition Facts about Lemons:
Lemons are definitely one of the versatile fruits that are low calorie and jam packed with nutrients. 1/4 Cup of the juice contains 31 % of the RDI for vitamin C and 3 % of folate. Lemons are also very high in potassium which makes them a great addition to recovery post work out. The lemon peel actually contains calcium, vitamin C, and potassium, as well as fiber. There really is no reason to limit or hold out from including lemons in your dietary routine!

Amazing dessert! I used raspberries, blueberries and strawberries since it’s the July 4th weekend. Since I never have ghee I used coconut oil in place of the ghee in the filling and it worked out great. Making a coconut and key lime tart like this would be delicious too….
Oh that is great to hear!!
This looks incredible! Do you think it would stand up to a potluck, or better not to have it sit out at all?
I would just assemble it when you get there!
Can you sub honey for maple syrup?
Yes you can!
I just made this for a Memorial Day weekend treat and it was amazing! I’m definitely adding this to my go-to desserts.
That’s awesome!!
SO delicious!
Great!!

So fun to have the kids help! Enjoy

Wonderful! We agree 100%
I’m AIP so I can’t have almond flour but really want to make this for my birthday!
Do you know if I can substitute almond flour for tigernut or cassava flour or mix of them?
Have never tried it, but it could work.
My 12 year old son is obsessed and asks for it all the time! Delish!!
Love when the kids love a recipe!!
Hi,
I haven’t made this yet, but it looks delicious! What would you use for the crust instead of almond flour because of a nut allergy?
Oat flour or regular flour.
