Mixed fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, mangoes, blackberries, kiwis)
12 -
Optional topping: a glaze made with apricot jam and water
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine powdered sugar, flour, and cold butter until it's crumbly. Slowly add some ice water to bring the dough together. Chill it for half an hour, roll it out, and bake at 190°C in a tart tin for around 25 minutes. Let it cool down completely.
02 -
Warm the milk and vanilla on the stove until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch into a smooth mix. Bit by bit, pour the hot milk into the bowl, stirring constantly. Put it all back into the pan and cook, stirring until it thickens. Take it off the heat, mix in butter, then chill the cream.
03 -
Spread cold pastry cream into the cooled base. Lay the fresh fruit neatly on top. To make it shiny, brush the fruit lightly with a glaze made by warming apricot jam and some water together.
04 -
Put the finished tart in the fridge for at least an hour. Slice it up and enjoy.
# Notes:
01 -
Wait until the tart is entirely cool before adding the cream, so it doesn't melt.
