Gluten-Free Fruit Tart Recipe

This gluten-free fruit tart is the perfect way for you to celebrate seasonal fruits and showcase your creativity all in one delicious dessert.
The Perfect Fruit Tart Filling – Diplomat Cream
When researching for this recipe, I was looking for the perfectly light but creamy custard that holds its shape to go into this gluten-free fruit tart. While a pastry cream could do the trick, you’ll find that the diplomat cream holds up better and has a more delicate flavor. While very similar to pastry cream, diplomat cream is structured with gelatin to make it stable, and includes whipped cream folded in.
A Gluten-Free Fruit Tart With a Crust That Holds Up
The base of this gluten-free crust starts with gluten-free crackers and gluten-free sprouted oats. The addition of oats gives it a nutty taste (even though this is a nut-free dessert!) which adds a more complex flavor than your typical pastry-crust. It’s a really solid crust that holds up against the textures of the custardy diplomat cream and luscious fruits.
