Ingredients
Serves 8
1 pastry crust, Homemade or frozen
For Pastry Cream
4 egg yolks
4 Tbsp superfine sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
350 ml (2 1/2 cups) milk
zest of 1 lemon
For Topping
kiwis, mandarins or your favorite fruits
Method
Bake Pie Crust
1. Preheat oven to 180°F (360°F/ gas mark 4).
2. On a lightly floured surface roll out the pastry dough, 30 cm diameter for a 23 cm tart pan. Carefully place the dough into a 23 cm (9 inch) tart pan. Press the edges into the sides of the pan. With a fork, poke little holes in the bottom of the dough.
3. Cover top of pie crust with wax paper. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10-15 minutes longer, or until golden-brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Make The Cream
4. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar, until they form a creamy texture.
5. In a saucepan, mix the cornstarch with a little milk in a pan. Pour into the egg yolks, add lemon zest, and mix well. Return the mixture to the saucepan, add lemon zest and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until thickens.
5. Pour the cream into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. The wrap should be in contact with the cream to stop a crust forming. Let cool.
6. Peel and slice your favorite fruits, such as kiwis, mandarins, or whatever you prefer.
7. Spread the cream into pie crust. Arrange the fruits on top. Serve child.
Enjoy!
