Fruit Tart Recipe with Oranges: Fresh & Easy Dessert

This Fruit Tart Recipe with Oranges REALLY caught my eye in an issue of Parade Magazine.

At the time, we were in the throes of winter with no sun in sight.

The orange and yellow colors in the magazine picture made me want to immediately run out to the grocery store to get the ingredients and make it.

Any recipe that includes clementines, vanilla wafers, eggs, and heavy cream, MUST be good!

What Is A Tart?

The Merriam-Webster definition of tart is “an open pie that usually has a sweet filling (such as fruit or custard)”.

This particular tart recipe is both: fruit AND custard.

Super Easy To Make

This was so easy to make.

The bulk of the time is having to wait the 3 hours for it to cool in the refrigerator.

First of all, how beautiful is this?!

I almost didn’t want to cut it because it was so pretty.

But the aroma in the house was so good, I had to sample it as soon as that 3 hours of refrigerating was done.

The Taste Is Heavenly

It was delicious!

I took it upon myself to double the crust ingredients because, well, I just like crust.

So in these pictures the crust is thicker than what the recipe would make.

That is, unless you double it too!

I wasn’t sure if my husband was going to like it or not.

He’s more of an apple pie a la mode kinda guy.

But he absolutely loved it.

It totally satisfies that sweet craving.

AND you can feel good about eating it because it has a ton of vitamin C with all of the sliced oranges on top.
