Ingredients

1 recipe Vanilla Pudding
1 recipe Sweet Tart Crust, fitted into a tart pan and chilled
1/4 cup sugar
3 cups strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and/or blueberries, picked over, stemmed, and hulled if necessary

Instructions

Make the pudding and chill thoroughly; you can do this up to a day ahead of assembling the tart. Prebake the crust (see below). While the crust bakes, toss the berries with the sugar in a bowl and let macerate in the refrigerator, stirring a couple of times to dissolve the sugar.
When the tart crust is cool, spread on a layer of pudding about 1/2 inch thick. Drain the berries, reserving the juice. Spoon the fruit on top of the pudding and serve with the reserved juice for drizzling if you like. This tart is best eaten within a day.
