Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1–2 tbsp cold water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 egg yolks

- 1 tbsp butter
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwis, mangoes, blackberries)

Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Shell: In a bowl, mix the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Add cold water a little at a time until the dough forms. Chill the dough, then roll it out and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes until golden.

- Assemble the Tart: Fill the cooled tart shell with the chilled pastry cream. Top with your favorite fresh fruits. For an optional glaze, mix apricot jam with a bit of water and brush over the fruit.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the assembled tart in the fridge, slice it up, and enjoy this delicious dessert!
