The Best Blackberry Caramel Tart With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person

The Best Blackberry Caramel Tart With Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
When it comes to fruit desserts, if the dessert isn't as delicious as eating that fruit fresh out of hand, then something's wrong. Claire Saffitz wants to maintain that bright flavor and bursting-with-juices texture of summer blackberries, so in this tart she leaves them mostly whole, surrounded by a blackberry caramel that highlights the natural flavor and sweetness of the fresh ones. Join Claire as she walks you through how to make the best blackberry caramel tart.

Thank you so much to the 1 million Dessert People for subscribing to the channel! What has been your favorite recipe so far?

[@spudrina]

focaccia recipe is iconic

[@anabeisycruz16]

Congrats Claire! Your videos bring me a lot of joy 🥰. My favorite recipe to eat so far has been the danish. I tried the cherry and blueberry varieties and they were both out of this world. I love danishes now.

[@josephinemartin]

I love the poppy seed almond cake. It's super easy to make and looks really impressive at parties!

[@mannyserrano5552]

We've been here for you forever!! We need Brad and Chris on your show as special guests! Screw the new B.A....

[@just.p3achy]

Congrats! My favorite is the cinnamon palmiers!

[@lauramccoy8507]

Congratulations Claire, you totally deserve it, you are such a highlight to so many people's week. Your detailed instructions and observations are very useful and I think you're a great teacher.

[@lauramccoy8507]

And to answer your question, the flat breads or the crème caramel, both of which turned out great. I'm sure all the others are amazing too but they're the ones I've made so far.

[@mdkader8292]

nice

[@j0my77]

Hi Clare! I just wanted to let you know that your method for pressing the dough into the pan was extremely helpful! I am disabled and not able to roll anything out, so this allows me to bake tarts now!

[@cassidyleonards2411]

I love how Claire never makes room in her fridge before she starts baking 🤣🤣

[@habanerogal1]

I came here to say the exact same thing! So relatable.

[@andres.5204]

it's just part of the baking process 😂 it makes the food taste better

[@annabelkus]

I didn’t have corn syrup so I used honey instead. Worked great and I really loved the floral note it added. Great recipe, and it looks very impressive when done :)

[@ricecakeaddict]

I just made this and the blackberry caramel is sooooo delicious!! I added a dark chocolate ganache layer underneath and loved the combo! I can't wait to finish my tart ❤️

[@jasonmadej2273]

These videos helped me get through a post-COVID fog, and your chocolate chip cookie recipe may have changed my life. I'm sure there are thousands of people with similar stories. Congratulations on building a community, 1 million dessert people strong.

[@stepheniansavage4913]

I love this recipe! I made it for my birthday, despite coming down with C0VID later that same day (definitely not the tart's fault, lol). I made this vegetarian by a 1:1 substitute of Agar Agar for the gelatin. I made sure to add it in to the caramel a few minutes before it was done so that it would activate properly. It also sets a lot faster than gelatin, so cooling in an ice bath definitely not required. (Mine got super thick, so I had to place the remaining Blackberries on top of of the filling) Thanks, Claire!!! 💖🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

[@ReginaldTAP3]

Congrats to the whole team! Sound & music, camera, editing, cats & chickens!

[@beatriz.t]

her laughing before the "mmm" is pure gold! you just know vinny asked her to do it so the joke lives on uninterrupted lol

[@ChampsJapaneseKitchen]

Looks amazing! I wish we could get blackberries easier in Japan. Usually you only find strawberry and blueberry

[@codysilv]

They grow like weeds here in British Columbia Canada

[@EarlySwerver]

I'm jealous, lack of blackberries means lack of brambles. It really is a thug of a plant.

[@payamabbasi3555]

In my country black berry's grow in the parks and in the middle of boulevards, but I nerver seen blueberries

[@bdellovibrioo5242]

And I wish we could get Japanese strawberries easier in the US!

[@jennatucker]

It would be interesting to experiment with some flavor combinations to get the sweetness of those berries with some added tartness. I think that blackberries are quite tart to compliment the caramel. I think I would start with blueberry lemon, maybe?

[@_meggroll_]

ahh congratulations ya'll! i love your channel so much; you make baking seem less scary

[@agustinrodriguezdelima7726]

I can tell that she's now self conscious of the "MMM" after tasting lol we love u Claire

[@lynaeratzell2541]

I love this recipe! I’ve made it three times for all the summer events happening. I did blackberry, strawberry and raspberry. So far the blackberry is my fav but my curiosity wanted to try other berries. ❤

[@prbpbr]

I came to the comments for this! I have an abundance of raspberries in my garden and I was wondering if it would be good with them too. How was it?

[@melodys9188]

did yall try this with raspberries? im tryinf this recipe soon hehe

[@awkwardtrumpet128]

one of the first recipes I ever made from Dessert Person! So yummy

[@Jason-ci9yg]

I consistently forget that Claire uploads every Thursday, and so each time it’s a delightful surprise :)

Congrats on 1M subscribers! Love the show!

[@TheTravelVal]

I've been eyeing this recipe in your book for a long time, now I'm not as intimidated to make it!! I'm going to make it this weekend for my birthday in fact ❤️🎉

[@sfoster2911]

The new kitchen looks so awesome and its great to see Claire enjoying time away from nyc......

[@kristinagroves]

This is fantastic. A friend brought me some home grown berries and I knew immediately that I wanted to try this recipe. It was very popular at my house and will stick in my summer dessert rotation!

[@baileyiswise]

my parents have a blackberry plant in their yard and i was looking for recipes!!! love this and perfect timing

[@TheAgeofFabulous]

Congrats Claire!! I love this channel and it’s challenged me to make more adventurous in my baking and my husband is grateful because he gets to eat my baking. I cannot wait for your second book so I can go on more adventures with you.

[@ellar8771]

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!!!!! These videos are one of the highlights of my week!!!!! 😍🎉.

[@its_sarandipity]

1 million in 1 year, congratulations Claire!!!

My favorite days of the week because of you I love you 💕 Claire

[@waitwhat9704]

Congratulations Claire, I’m so proud of you and your team🤍🥳

[@DraconZa]

Congrats! ❤️ Claire and Vince and the rest of the team.

[@emy7873]

I was hoping to get a video for this one! Now I feel more confident trying this recipe 🥰 Claire, thank you so much for all your explanations for why things are the way they are, you really help me understand things and learn, rather than just give us recipes. It's all so valuable 😊

[@msstellar6921]

Congratulations on 1M, very well deserved!!!! 👏🏼✨🎊✨🎉✨

[@tuckerdoolan8830]

I've only made this recipe once before, but I have to say that it's probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. The best word I can use to describe it is 'refreshing', the caramel and crust complement the fresh blackberries so well. I'd highly recommend making this recipe if you've got blackberries.

[@ololadealaran8686]

Super.... will definitely try this 👍🏼 👌🏽

[@barboratrnkova5783]

Congratulation, Claire! You and the whole team deserve all the success 😊. Also, I'm loving the video breakdown in the description 😆.

[@AtheistRising]

Congratulations 🎊 on reaching 1 million subscribers. It's a great achievement, well done Claire.

[@Brooksie603]

Congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers! I’m sure it will grow even more 🍾

[@jamesktucker979]

I am going to make this. I just love my induction stove. I am glad you have one, and like it.

[@Druidpunk]

My blackberries just started to get color today, it looks like I know how I'll be using them! 😍

[@chicmommaplants9692]

Awesome~ I harvest so many blackberries so this is a very much needed recipe..:)

[@toastiesin]

Love the little "Vinny was here" on the fridge

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!!!! Amazing!! 🫶🏻🎈🍰🥳💕

[@jiojiart]

Congrats Claire you really deserve it! Every video you make I watch while I have breakfast and pretend it’s your food😳

[@Morrilla]

I tried this recipe last week, it's the perfect summer dessert, and a nice way to impress the family

[@Brainhoneywalker]

Congratulations on 1 Million subscribers. You deserve and will achieve more. Love your recipes, your channel, your book, your manner, your stories, your method, your animals, and your hubby in the background. Going to make this one!

[@pbianca90]

[@PlantsCatsTattoos]

Thanks for improving my soup! I don't bake (though I watch and love all your videos), but yesterday I made soup and used some of your tips from your recent soup video, and it made a huge improvement!! As I was cooking I kept telling my husband, well, Claire says... Lol! He always knows when I am watching your videos because your voice is so calming. Thanks for all the great content, and congrats on a million subscribers!!!

[@malcontent510]

The first word that comes to mind is simply *_wow_* -- my mouth is watering

[@julielytton6097]

It is very pretty and so tasty looking. I'm not good at Tart crusts YET, but that will not stop me from trying this lovely recipe. Thank you.

Please accept my sincerest congratulations, Claire 🤍 I think you’re a household name now and you deserve so much more. With that being said, I’m truly in love with your personality and the way you approach each and every recipe. xoxo from Poland 👋🏻

Congratulation guys on 1 million subscribers. For the world being what it is it's wonderful to have a positive entertaining and informative program like this.

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

This would be awesome with my Salty Black Dog cocktail! Definitely going to make this!

[@karenb8200]

I made the cranberry pomegranate mousse pie last weekend and it was my first EVER time using gelatin. With that experience under my belt, I think I have all the skills to make this tart! Great video, and congratulations to everyone for 1 million subcribers!

[@dadcelo]

That is such a beautiful tart

[@ANNA-cf8vr]

I have your book and was interested in making this now that blackberries are very in season, but it always seemed harder to make. Thanks for the video because it convinced me it's totally doable.

[@user-eb2sy3nt9m]

[@Bowiemusiclover]

[@victorpena5217]

I read the title and I understood all the words individually but not when they strung together in that order. After I watched the video I understood. And now I GOTTA make it. Thank you ma'am 😊
