Blackberry Tart

Comment – I got Tahitian vanilla beans in the mail from Amazon recently and used them to make the custard for these tarts. I discovered that I really like the flavor of vanilla beans compared to vanilla extract. The desserts turned out great and the vanilla bean custard was my favorite part. I would recommend cooking the crust for less time to get a softer crust.  I used a tart pan with a removable bottom for the larger tart. I shaped the smaller tart crust in my molten lava cake pan with removable bottoms.  The glaze over the top of the smaller tart was just blackberry juice heated with powdered sugar and a little cornstarch to thicken it.
