Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 3.4 ounces vanilla pudding mix (instant)
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, mango)
• 0.25 cups apricot jelly
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and cold water to the mixture. Knead gently until it comes together into a dough. Do not overwork. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or glass to cut circles slightly larger than your tart molds.

Step 5

Press the dough circles into the tart molds, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork to prevent puffing.

Step 6

Bake the tart shells in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let them cool completely before filling.

Step 7

Prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the instant pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Allow to set for about 5 minutes, then spoon the pudding into the cooled tart shells.

Step 8

Decorate the tarts with an assortment of sliced fresh fruits. Arrange them creatively for a visually appealing result.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, gently heat the apricot jelly with 1 tablespoon of water until it liquefies. Use a pastry brush to lightly glaze the fruits on each tart for a shiny finish.

Step 10

Refrigerate the tarts for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy your Mmm Jelly Fruit Tarts!
