Preparation of Mini Fruit Tarts

  2. Add egg yolks, heavy cream, and vanilla. Mix until sandy consistency forms. Don't overmix.
  3. Shape dough into balls and press into tart molds. Prick bottoms to prevent bubbling. Freeze for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake tart shells for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
  5. In a saucepan, whisk egg yolks and sugar. Sift in flour and cornstarch. Gradually add milk and vanilla. Cook until thickened.
  6. Once cooled, slice fruits. Heat apricot jelly with water until melted. Brush glaze on shells, fill with custard, and top with fruit.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for up to 4 hours.
