Fresh Berry Tart with Vanilla Pastry Cream
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ice water. Gradually add the egg mixture to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a tart pan. Trim any excess dough.
-
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
-
For the vanilla pastry cream, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled.
-
Once the tart crust and pastry cream are both cool, spread the pastry cream evenly over the crust.
-
Arrange the fresh berries on top of the pastry cream.
-
Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
