Cherry Custard Tart

Happy Sunday friends!  For the first time in weeks, I’m back in the kitchen doing what I love – baking! And as promised my love affair with cherries continues with this easy Cherry Custard Tart.

While cherries are simply delicious on their own, this French inspired tart highlights them perfectly in a rather chic way.  The buttery crust is reminiscent of pie, but without all the work, which is why tarts are quickly becoming one favorite things to bake.  There is something so elegant about them, even if deceptively so, because they really are a cinch to make!  Enjoy!

While I’ve come a long way with my bourbon muscle – you know trying to enjoy it without puckering my face with every sip – I still find it a bit harsh.  So to truly enjoy this cocktail, I’ve added a touch of sugar and a splash of vanilla.  Easy.  Because Friday’s should be easy!
