Ingredients

  • 10 graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 pastry cream
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 1 kiwi

For the gelatin glaze (optional)

  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1 pack (7 grams) unflavored gelatin

Instructions

For the graham cracker crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9" tart crust with removable bottom.
  • Place the crackers in a food processor (or blender) and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Transfer to a bowl and add sugar and buttes. Mix with a spatula to combine.
  • Transfer the crust mixture to the tart pan and press to the sides (about 2/3 up) and the bottom of it.
    Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely to a room temperature.

For the gelatin glaze:

    Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

    • Prepare the simple syrup by combining water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring to make sure the sugar has dissolved and the liquid reduces its volume by 1/3. Cool to room temperature.
    • Warm up the gelatin to liquify, using  a double boiler or for 10 seconds in the microwave. Add to the simple syrup.

    To assemble:

    • Pour pastry cream into the graham cracker crust, filling it almost to the top. You may have left over cream. 
    • Refrigerate for 30 minutes. 
    • Top with berries and kiwi. 
    • Brush with gelatin glaze and refrigerate for at least 30 more minutes
