Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 500 milliliters Whole milk
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for custard)
• 30 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 20 grams Butter (for custard)
• 150 grams Strawberries
• 100 grams Blueberries
• 2 medium Kiwi
• 1 small Mango
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon Water (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges.

Step 4

Poke the crust with a fork to prevent puffing, then line it with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely.

Step 5

To prepare the custard, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch together.

Step 6

Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter. Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed against the surface, and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Once the crust and custard have cooled, spread the custard evenly into the tart shell.

Step 9

Wash and cut the fruits. Slice strawberries, kiwi, and mango into thin pieces. Arrange all the fruits on top of the custard in a decorative pattern.

Step 10

In a small saucepan, heat apricot jam and water until melted and smooth. Brush the glaze over the fruits to create a shiny finish.

Step 11

Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
