Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
½ cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
¼ cup of powdered sugar
1 large egg yolk
2–3 tablespoons of cold water
2 cups of whole milk
½ cup of granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, peaches, etc.)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Fruit glazes (like apricot or raspberry) for brushing (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and cubed butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg yolk and cold water gradually, mixing until the dough forms. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the dough and press it into the tart pan, trimming the edges and pricking the bottom with a fork.
Blind bake for 15 minutes with parchment and weights, then an additional 5-7 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
For the custard, heat milk and sugar over medium heat until warm. Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch together, then add warm milk slowly.
Cook over low heat until thickened, then stir in vanilla. Allow to cool slightly.
Pour custard into the cooled tart shell, smoothing it evenly and refrigerating for 2-3 hours.
Once set, layer fresh fruit on top as desired.
If desired, warm fruit glaze and brush over the fruit for shine.
