Adapted by Dorie Greenspan in "Baking From My Home To Yours", OMG this is definitely most extraordinary. It's pretty decadent with 21 tbsp of butter but so easy to prepare and only requires use of the oven to bake the crust. This tart is perfect for an easy and crowd-pleasing summer dessert.

*Bump*

I made this for the 4th time yesterday and it's still pretty extraordinary. My only change was, per an old comment from Darcie, I reduced the amount of unsalted butter to 16 Tbsp (2 sticks). 5 less Tbsp didn't seem to affect the texture or flavor - still pretty damn luscious and creamy.

Question: the Notes suggest that the cream can be frozen ahead but I'm hesitant to try. Wouldn't freezing change the texture (added water after its defrosted)?

Thanks -

This is for you Wino ;) - Editing to add that this was the 4th time I made this over a period of 2 years.
