1. Rustic Nectarine, Peach and Apricot Tart
Overflowing with apricots, nectarines and peaches, this tart is sure to steal the show this season. The perfectly imperfect crust, which is extremely easy to make, gives it that nice rustic look. Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream and, if there’s any left over, be sure to treat yourself to a slice in the morning with a dollop of your favourite yogurt.
2. Grilled Fruit Tartlets
Grilling pros are sure to love this recipe, where peaches, apricots and cherries are sprinkled with sugar and then wrapped in foil before cooking. These slightly stewed fruits are then added to tiny tart crusts that have been brushed with white chocolate.
3. Rustic Blackberry Tartlets
Shortcrust pastry and blackberry filling (or any other preferred berry) make this buttery treat a summer must-try! The dough is folded over the fruit and the tartlets are then baked directly on a baking sheet instead of in moulds. All you need this season is simplicity.

4. Strawberry Pie
As soon as u-pick season begins, be sure to load up your baskets with strawberries to make homemade strawberry pie. This classic version requires tapioca and sugar in the strawberry filling to ensure the fruit juices thicken and the filling isn’t runny.

5. Vegan Fruit Tart
This egg- and dairy-free dessert has a crispy almond crust that’s filled with a smooth pastry cream made of almond milk and coconut oil, and the whole is topped with a mountain of fruit. With the crunch of the crust, the sweetness of the filling and the freshness of the fruit, it’s pretty much summer in dessert form.

Inspired by a classic fruit tart, this version is made with a sweet pastry dough that incorporates ground almonds and lime zest. It is spread with a thin layer of raspberry jam and then pastry cream.

9. Almond and Rhubarb Tart
Given its early harvest, rhubarb is one of the first products we can begin baking with starting in May. It’s delicious in a classic strawberry and rhubarb pie, but in this recipe, we decided to make an almond treat instead. The shortcrust pastry is stuffed with a filling made of marzipan, butter and almond powder. Finish it off by placing sticks of rhubarb on top.

10. Mango and Passion Fruit Tart
When summer is in full swing, we’re sure you begin to crave juicy and colourful fruit such as mango. This tart truly highlights this fruit. In the curd, its flavour is light and mellow, whereas it has a more pronounced taste as a fresh topping. And passion fruit syrup is then poured on top, taking this dessert to a whole other level.
