  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Makes approximately 12 mini tarts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Butter (unsalted, cold)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 3/4 cups Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 5 Egg yolks
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • 1 tbsp Apricot jam
  • 1/2 tsp Water

Instructions

  1. Make the Tart Dough: Combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Mix in egg and vanilla until dough forms. Chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Shape and Bake Tart Shells: Roll out dough, cut into rounds, and press into mini tart pans. Poke holes with a fork, freeze for 20 minutes, then bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Prepare Pastry Cream: Heat milk with vanilla until boiling. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch together; temper with hot milk mixture. Cook until thickened and cool.
  4. Assemble Tarts: Fill cooled shells with pastry cream, top with sliced fruits, and brush apricot jam mixed with water for shine.
