Notice how raspberry is the first word in the title? That’s because this tart recipe is all about the fruit. Yes, there’s a rich tart dough made with egg yolk and cream. And yes, it’s slathered with an amazing filling of vanilla browned butter and crème fraîche. But the filling is more of a flavourful base to support and contrast with all the bright fruit.
