Raspberry Tart

This eye-catching Raspberry Tart will earn you many compliments with its shiny and tempty look!

The seediness and mild acidity of the filling complement perfectly the sweetness and smoothness of the cream...

It is very suitable for entertaining, either for summer tea parties or as a fresh finish for a dinner party, having the extra advantage of being equally favoured by children and adults alike.
