Fruit Tart
Okay, so here’s a simple recipe for a tasty dessert filled with fruit. You can personalize it by adding your own fruits and presenting it in an artistic way!
Ingredients for Fruit Tart:
For the Tart Shell:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons ice water
For the Pastry Cream:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Fruit Topping:
- Assorted fresh fruits (berries, Apple slices, Kiwi, Peach, etc.)
- Apricot or fruit preserves for glaze
Instructions for Fruit Tart:
1. Tart Shell:
- Pulse the salt, sugar, and Flour together in a food processor.
- Pulse in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Beat the egg yolk with the ice water in a small bowl.
- When the dough comes together, add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and pulse.
- Place the dough onto a surface dusted with flour and form it into a disc. Refrigerate it for at least an hour after wrapping it in plastic wrap.
- Turn the oven on to 190°C or 375°F.
- Using a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough and place it into the tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Pie weights or dried beans can be used to fill the parchment paper-lined crust.
- After 15 minutes of baking, take out the parchment and weights, and continue baking for a further 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown.
- Let the crust of the tart cool fully.
2. Pastry Cream:
- Heat the milk in a saucepan until it almost simmers.
- Beat together sugar, cornflour, and salt in a separate basin. Whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth.
- While continuously whisking, slowly pour the heated milk into the egg mixture.
- Place the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk continuously over medium heat until it thickens.
- Take off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and butter.
- Pour the pastry cream through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, place plastic wrap directly on top, and chill until the cream is firm.
3. Assembling the Tart:
- Spread the pastry cream evenly throughout the tart shell after it has cooled along with the tart shell.
- Top the pastry cream with an arrangement of your preferred fresh fruits.
- Melt the apricot or fruit preserves in a small saucepan over low heat. To get rid of any solids, strain.
- To give the fruit a glossy coating, drizzle the melted preserves over its surface.
- Before serving, let the fruit tart cool in the fridge for at least one hour.
Enjoy your delicious homemade fruit tart!
