Fresh Blackberry Custard Torte Recipe

Blackberry Custard Torte is a light and wonderful way to serve fresh blackberries for either breakfast or as a dessert.  I like to use the wild blackberries that grow in Oregon.  My husband loves blackberries and this torte always makes him happy.

Instructions
Blackberry Custard Torte Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Prepare Crust.  Prepare Custard Filling.

  2. Sprinkle 2 cups blackberries over prepared crust.  Carefully pour Custard Filling over the blackberries.  Bake approximately 90 minutes or until center is almost set (to prevent drips, place springform pan on a shallow baking pan).  Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack (center of torte will fall).

  3. To serve, remove sides of springform pan and place on a large platter or cut into serving-size pieces.  Top with remaining blackberries and whipped cream.

  4. Torte is best served warm.  Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

  5. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Curst Instructions:
  1. In a large bowl with a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into sugar, baking powder, and flour until particles resemble coarse crumbs.

  2. Stir in egg until dough forms a ball.  Press dough onto the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch Springform Pan; set aside.

Custard Filling Instructions:
  1. In a medium bowl, beat together egg yolks, sour cream or yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract just until combined.

Recipe Notes

* Select plump, well-colored blackberries.  They should not have stem caps attached.  If hulls are still attached, the berries are immature and were picked too early.  Discard berries showing any signs of decay.
