Since I overslept today (so no bento!) haha, I decided to share with you this yummy strawberry tart I made. I had also made a mango rose tart, but perhaps I will leave that for another post.
I have made several tarts already, but this time I had tried a new tart crust recipe. While everyone who ate it really loved it and commented that the crust was good. I found the tart crust harder to work with as the dough was a lot softer and it was quite crumbly after baked (so please be gentle when removing from tart tin.
I also tried my head to knead the dough (challenging and tad messy) but the experience was pretty great. Though I might just go back to my old recipe and hand held mixer :P
If you are keen to make this tart, below is the new tart crust recipe and custard filling recipes. The fruits is really up to your liking, but I do recommend tangy fruits to balance the taste of the custard filling.
Don't worry, alternatively, you can go back to my old but trusty tart crust recipe here.
Recipe for Strawberry Mango Fruit Tart
(makes 2 fruit tarts, about 14cm)
(1) Tart Crust
160g plain flour
35g egg yolk
20g almond powder
95g unsalted butter
55g powdered sugar
1.2g salt
Method
- Knead the soften butter with plain flour until incorporated.
- Add in almond powder, sugar, egg and salt. Knead and mix well until the dough is formed.
- Wrap the dough in cling wrap and let it set in the chiller for 1 hour.
- Remove from chiller, roll out the dough. Lay them over your tart tins and fill the tart tins.
- Place a small sheet of baking paper and fill the tarts with pie weights. Make sure you fill the sides as those are the areas that are prone to shrinkage.
- Bake at 170C for about 25mins until nicely brown. Remove and let it cool before filling the tart.
(2) Custard Cream
300ml of milk
90g sugar
30g corn flour
3 egg yolks
Method
- Heat milk in a small saucepan until boiling, remove from heat.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Return saucepan to stove on low heat. Keep stirring as the mixture thickens. It would resemble a thick texture.
- Remove from heat, transfer the custard cream into a container and store in the chiller for at least 1 hour before use. The custard cream will harden just a little when chilled.
(3) Glaze for strawberries
20g of strawberry jam1~1.5 tsp water (*adjust depending on the thickness of your jam)
a few drops of lemon juice
- Heat the above mixture in a microwave for 20seconds at 700W
- Let it cool slightly. Using a pastry brush, brush a thin layer on top of the strawberry fruits. This will give it a nice shine!
