Ingredients
Dough
- 100 g cold butter
- 180 g white flour
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Vanilla cream
- 500 ml milk
- 5 egg yolks
- 40 g sugar
- 65 g flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate cream
- 500 ml milk
- 5 egg yolks
- 40 g sugar
- 55 g white flour
- 35 g cocoa
Decoration
- 5 strawberries
- half of a peach
- 150 g cherries
- chocolate
Instructions
Dough
- In a bowl, mix the cold butter cut into cubes with flour until you get a sandy consistency. Add the egg, continue to knead, add the sugar, baking soda, vanilla extract and finally the water. If you still need water, add 1-2 more tablespoons.
- Refrigerate the dough wrapped in cling film and leave for at least 30 minutes.
Vanilla cream
- Heat the milk with the vanilla extract.
- In a bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar with a mixer until the yolks lighten in color and the mixture becomes frothy.
- Gradually add the flour and mix for a few seconds, until the flour is incorporated. Pour the mixture over the milk and mix until the cream thickens.
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave it to cool.
Chocolate cream
- Do the same steps as for vanilla cream, what you have to do more is to add the cocoa. Cover it with plastic wrap and leave it to cool.
Tart
- Spread the dough in a thin sheet on a surface lined with flour and place it in a tray lined with baking paper. Add a baking paper on the dough, put rice/beans and put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes. The rice/beans on the dough stop the dough from growing and this is how you get a thin and crunchy dough.
- After the crust is baked, let it completely cool. Add the vanilla cream, then the chocolate cream and the fresh fruits on top.
