Pies / Tarts

Sweet tarts are popular desserts in many cultures. They are usually made with a crust (shortcrust, sweet or puff pastry) filled with fruit, cream, or chocolate. In France, you can find classics like apple tart, tarte Tatin, or lemon meringue tart.

In the United States, apple pie is iconic, as are pecan pie and key lime pie. In Italy, the crostata is a rustic tart, often filled with jam or pastry cream. In Germany, fruit tarts like the Kirschtorte (cherry tart) are highly appreciated.

In Portugal, the tarte de nata is a small cream tartlet. In China, especially in Hong Kong, the egg tart is a must-have, influenced by Portuguese cuisine. Japan and Korea offer modern, elegant tarts, often made with matcha, strawberry, or sweet potato.

All around the world, sweet tarts celebrate local flavors and pastry traditions while remaining a simple and friendly treat.
