A Winning Recipe Raspberry Tart
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fresh raspberries
- Six individual cooked pastry shells or one large cooked shell recipe and instructions for pastry shells
- Pastry Cream/Creme Patisserie Filling recipe below
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 ounce/50 gram/1/3 cup castor sugar You can use granulated sugar that you have placed in the blender and buzzed a couple of times to make it finer but not a powder. Leave blender lid on until the sugar dust settles.
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup milk
- A few drops of vanilla essence optional
For The Glaze
- 2 tablespoons raspberry preserve
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon Kirsch or cognac optional
Instructions
Prepare Tart/ Pie Shells
- Make your pie shells if you are not using ready-made frozen shells from the grocery store.
- Remember the pasty shells whether homemade or store-bought must be cooked and cooled before the tart is assembled.
How To Make The Pastry Cream/Creme Patisserie Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar using a wire balloon whisk until they are pale and thick.
- Gradually beat in the flour with just 1 tablespoon of the milk.
- Place the rest of the milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Whisk this into the egg mixture in a slow stream, ensuring that you whisk continuously so that it does not go lumpy (by using a balloon whisk you should have no problems with this).
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and place back on the heat. Continue to whisk until boiling (just a few seconds ) then remove from heat and continue whisking and cooking for 2-3 minutes. By removing from the heat it prevents any burning! Allow to cool.
- (Make-ahead and pour into a dish and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to fill your pastry shells.)
Method For The Glaze
- Mix the raspberry preserve with the water and Kirsch
- Heat until just melted.
- Set aside to allow the glaze to cool.
How To Assemble The Tarts
- Fill the pastry shells with the Crème Patissière.
- Arrange the raspberries on the top of the crème filling.
- Brush the raspberry glaze over the raspberries and pastry edges.
- Another delicious French pastry for you to enjoy!
Notes
- Pastry shells must be cooked before filling with pastry cream.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the raspberries before placing them on the filling.
