Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • Fresh strawberries and blueberries (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp apricot jam (for glaze)
  • 1/2 tsp water

Instructions

  1. Prepare tart dough by combining flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and blend until pea-sized. Mix in egg and vanilla until a dough forms. Chill for at least an hour.
  2. Roll out chilled dough, cut into rounds, and place into mini tart pans. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake shells for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool before filling.
  4. For pastry cream, heat milk with vanilla until warm. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt; combine with warm milk gradually while whisking. Cook until thickened, then cool completely.
  5. Fill cooled tart shells with pastry cream and top with fresh fruit. Brush with a mixture of apricot jam and water for shine.
