Necessary ingredients:

- 300 g flour + 4 tablespoons for filling
- 200 g sugar + 3 tablespoons for filling
- 150 g butter (cold, cubed)
- 2-3 tablespoons of milk
- 400 g raspberries (you can also use frozen raspberries)
- 400 g blackberries (similarly, you can use frozen blackberries)
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Step by step for a perfect tart:

1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the 300 g of flour with 50 g of sugar. Add the cold butter and, using your fingers, knead until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. This is the crucial stage for achieving a flaky tart texture.

2. Adding wet ingredients: Add the egg and 2-3 tablespoons of milk (or enough to gather the dough). Use gentle motions to knead the dough, being careful not to over-knead it so it doesn’t become elastic. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step is essential to allow the butter to cool, which will help achieve a flaky tart.

3. Preparing the filling: In a bowl, mix the raspberries and blackberries with 150 g of sugar and 4 tablespoons of cornstarch. This mixture will help thicken the juice released by the fruit during baking. You can also add a teaspoon of lemon juice for an extra acidity that will enhance the flavors.

4. Assembling the tart: Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 5 mm thick. Place it in a greased tart pan, making sure to evenly cover the edges. Pour the fruit mixture over the dough.

5. Preparing the topping: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 6 tablespoons of sour cream. Mix well until you achieve a smooth composition. Using a plastic bag cut at one corner, decorate the tart with this mixture, creating an attractive pattern on top.

6. Baking: Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30 minutes on low heat until the surface is golden and the fruits are well cooked. Let it cool slightly before cutting.

Serving suggestion: Serve the tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of fresh cream. You can also add a few fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.

Possible variations: Instead of raspberries and blackberries, you can use other berries, such as strawberries or blueberries. You can also experiment with flavors by adding a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture.

With this simple raspberry and blackberry tart recipe, you will achieve a quick and delicious dessert, perfect for enjoying on warm summer days. Enjoy the natural flavors and its crunchy texture, and don’t forget to share the joy of this dessert with your loved ones!
