Equipment

  • Tart Pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Small Saucepan
  • Measuring cups
  • Whisk
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Pastry Brush
  • Kitchen Timer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup BUTTER
  • 1/2 cup SUGAR
  • 1/2 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 2 cups ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1/4 tsp KOSHER SALT
  • 1 cup WHOLE MILK
  • 3 large EGG YOLKS
  • 1/3 cup SUGAR
  • 2 tbsp CORNSTARCH
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 2 cups STRAWBERRIES
  • 1 cup BLUEBERRIES
  • 1/4 cup APRICOT JAM

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Cream the butter and the sugar together. Use a large bowl for this task. The mixture should be very smooth now.

Step 2:

  • Add the vanilla to the butter mix. Then add the flour and the salt. Mix it on a very low speed.

Step 3:

  • Stop when a soft dough finally forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap tightly. Put it in the fridge for later.

Step 4:

  • Press the cold dough into the pan. Make sure the edges are quite thick. Prick the bottom with a silver fork.

Step 5:

  • Bake the crust until it is golden. Let it cool on a wire rack. It must be cold before you fill.

Step 6:

  • Whisk the milk and the egg yolks. Cook them in a small metal pan. Stir until the cream gets very thick.

Step 7:

  • Spread the cream over the cold crust. Use a flat spoon to smooth it. Make it even across the whole bottom.

Step 8:

  • Place the fresh fruit on the top. Create pretty circles with the sweet berries. Use different colors for a nice look.

Step 9:

  • Warm the jam in a small pot. Brush it over the fruit very gently. This makes the tart shine very bright.

Notes

  • Keep your butter at room temperature always.
  • Chill the dough before you bake it.
  • Do not overcook the sweet pastry cream.
  • Wash and dry the fruit very well.
  • Use a tart pan with fluted edges.
  • Add a little lemon zest for flavor.
  • Prick the dough to prevent air bubbles.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling.
  • Arrange fruit in a nice circular pattern.
  • Apply the glaze while it is warm.
