While Lounging Poolside...

[Photo by Elise] Eat This. Sacha Baron Cohen's new "DocuMockery" Bruno includes a specific scene where the Bruno declares he is going to commit mass "carbicide". In essence, that is when one eats so many carbs, they get carb-drunk and do crazy things. So today's While Lounging Poolside recipe for a Summer Berry Tart is inspired by this idea of mass-carbicide... The tart of course contains carbohydrates, but the berries used for the recipe are in season right now so stop by your local farmers market to pick them up.  Ingredients and directions below:INGREDIENTS:

CRUST

1 (15 oz.) pie crusts, softened as directed on pkg

1/4 c. slivered almond

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

FILLING

1 c. creme fraiche or sour cream

1 (4 oz.) container ready-made prepared vanilla pudding

ground almonds, sprinkling

TOPPING

2/3 c. fresh raspberry

2/3 c. fresh blueberries

2/3 c. fresh blackberries

1 tsp. powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 450ºF.

Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust baked shell using 9"pie plate.
