Fruit Tartlets

You know that time where you run around all the house and wonder what to bake or if you have enough tools?

Okay so I was home late and had a little time to bake whatever I already had in my wonderful kitchen and well my friend insisted to let me know that she ordered a lot of deserts,so I said why not make some small and incredible bites that nobody couldn’t resist so I prepared mini tarts with “crème patissière” with some fresh fruits that will just blow your mind. For the pastry, I was inspired by a book “pastry” written by Catherine Atkinson  which my father sells in his office,for the crème it’s my own combination of some ingredients I love and for the fruits I picked my own now you can alternate any kind of fruits I just picked my favourites, delicious!!

For the pastry:

1-          200 g plain flour

2-          15 ml caster(superfine) sugar

3-          150 g butter

4-          2 egg yolks

5-          15 ml chilled water(depending on your pastry 

you can add more)  


For the "Crème pâtisseriere"   
  2 egg yolks 

       100 g caster sugar

        25 g plain flour, sifted

        1/2 tsp vanilla extract

         350ml milk

1. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until light and thick, then stir in the flour.

2. Pour the milk onto the egg mixture, whisking all the time. Return the mixture to the pan and stir over a low-medium heat until it comes up to a gentle boil. (It must boil for it to thicken.) Continue to cook, stirring all the time (or use a whisk if it looks lumpy), for 2 minutes or until it has thickened.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the vanilla extract and pour into a bowl. If the mixture goes a little lumpy while cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk well. If it is still lumpy when cooked, push it through a sieve.

4. Cover with cling film and allow to cool. It must be covered, or the surface must be rubbed with a a little bit of butter to prevent a skin forming.

And finally last but not least, my favorite part of this recipe fresh fruits I mean who doesn’t like some healthy fruits on top for a big finish? Haha I know I do:D:D

Now it is not necessary that you use exacltly the same one I used you can use whatever you like. As for me, I used bananas, apples, kiwis , grapes and pineapple but make sure  to mix them with some caster sugar to prevent them from changing their colour,

Now you can add as much as you want depending on the quantity of tartlets.

At the end, sprinkle them with some powder sugar and add a mint on top of each one.

BON APETIT:)
