Delicious cherries are in season right now and I can not stop myself from incorporating these beautiful and red fruits into literally all my desserts. Another recipe that I played recently with is this very easy and effortless eggless black forest tart. This eggless black forest tart is topped with a delicious layer of cherry compote. It doesn’t only make it prettier but also ten times more yum!

I absolutely love playing around with fruits in my desserts. While I don’t particularly enjoy cherries on their own, I am a fan when it comes to cherry desserts, especially like this eggless black forest tart. It is literally a stress-free recipe and even the harsh summer loo won’t discourage you from getting up and whipping this up! This eggless black forest tart is just that amazing!

Making the perfect eggless black forest tart shell

A tart is the easiest, most delicious and versatile dish that one can prepare in no time. It goes well with both sweet and savory fillings. Whether it is custards, lemon curd, or cream cheese filling, you just need to put on your thinking caps and go where your creativity takes you! So many you ask me- how to make perfect tarts and I have the perfect blog post on how to make perfect tarts, that I am sure you guys will absolutely love! This eggless black forest tart shell is also super easy to make and the tips will certainly help you guys on how to go about tart-ing, haha!

Tips on baking with fruits

As you guys may have already noticed, I love my fruits and I love my fruity desserts- exactly like this eggless black forest tart. But, there are some very basic tips that one should remember about cooking or baking with fruits and they are as follows:

  • Please remember to always wash your fruits. There are a plethora of new germs in the market and you wouldn’t want those in your body- trust me. So, always thoroughly rinse your fruits and your berries as well!
  • While baking with fruits, make it a point to read up the recipe properly. Some fruits are easier to deal with while some aren’t and obviously, some are required to be incorporated in a specific way. Most recipes will guide you on how you should go about using your fruits. Thus, it is my advise to never take recipes casually.
  • Be aware of how cooking processes will affect your fruit. For example, the Vitamin C in your lemons is destroyed on heating.
